Bangladesh Coach Russell Domingo Acknowledges Shakib's Absence, Calls It A Big 'Blow'
Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo has said that losing all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan due to a left hamstring injury for the rest of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup is a big loss in terms of team balance. He added that the team will miss his leadership and calmness in pressure situations apart from his all-around utility. Bangladesh have lost all three matches in Group 1 of the Super 12 stage and face South Africa on Tuesday in Abu Dhabi.
"Shakib is obviously a big loss for the balance of the side. But also, in terms of his leadership and the calmness that he brings around the environment in pressure situations, that aspect will be lost. But it does provide an opportunity for someone new to maybe make his first World Cup appearance tomorrow, and we've got to see that as a positive for whoever that young player is going to be tomorrow," Domingo said in the pre-match press conference on Monday.
