We have better understanding of T20 now: Ashraful

The Tigers reached the pearl of Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka for their ICC World T20 campaign on Wednesday. Upon the team’s arrival in Colombo, batsman Mohammad Ashraful shared his impressions of the recent T20 tournament in Trinidad.

Q: How would you rate Bangladesh’s performance in the recently concluded quadrangular T20 tournament, commemorating Trinidad & Tobago’s 50 years of independence?

Ash: I think we did fairly well. We won easily against Barbados and Afghanistan by chasing in rain-reduced games. We should have beaten Trinidad & Tobago in the last match after having them reeling on 12 for five but they got home in the final over. Batting second was a lot easier at Queen’s Park Oval as the bowlers were finding it extremely difficult to grip the ball because of dew and the ground was wet.
