‘We’re still targeting quarter-finals’

There’s still time and we still have scope yet to seal that quarter-final berth,we are hopeful.

So,in terms of preparation what do you think your team have to do to achieve that ?

We’re working hard to improve in all departments,there’s always scope to do more,especially in our batting. Ahead of our next assignment (against England in Chittagong on Friday),we would like to concentrate on more work in the batting department.

But what do you reckon has been going wrong for the team so far?

In the last game particularly,the boys played the wrong shots which led to wickets falling regularly against West Indies,other than that there is not much you can put a finger to.

What is your assessment of the performances so far?

We played well in our first match against India (87-run defeat) and also against Ireland (27-run win) but our performance against West Indies (nine-wicket defeat) was not acceptable.

What do you make of the fans’ attacks on the house of skipper Shakib Al Hasan after the West Indies defeat?

The main strength of our team is the support of our loyal fans. These are stray incidents.
