Sher-e-Bangla’s wickets in discussion ahead of England series

Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium is known as the home ground of cricket in Bangladesh. But there is always a complaint about the Mirpur wicket, the advantage of the bowlers. All the big teams of the world struggle while facing the Tigers in the Mirpur. But this time, Moeen Ali, who recently came to play in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), highly praised that Mirpur wicket. On the other hand, Bangladesh head coach Hathurusingha was seen talking about wickets with Bangladesh wicket curator Gamini before the England series.

In an interview recently, English all-rounder Moeen Ali said that he had never got such a good wicket in Sher-e-Bangla Stadium before. When played on good wickets, the England all-rounder feels good for both batsman and bowler. According to Moeen, apart from batsmen getting runs, bowlers can also bowl with their own abilities. To develop players, he suggested always keeping wickets like in BPL.

Moeen said about Mirpur’s wicket, “I have played only two matches in this year’s BPL. After playing two matches, I realized that the wicket is very good. There is a great need for such wickets in T20. Because the audience wants to see high scoring matches. If you get such good wickets regularly, cricketers can play well. The nature of cricket has changed in the last few years. If the wicket is good, the quality of the game increases, the players develop. I have come to play in Bangladesh many times before. But I have never seen a wicket as good as this one. It is always important to keep such wickets. It makes the game competitive.”

A few days later, Moeen will play a bilateral series on the soil of Bangladesh. The star all-rounder praised the Tigers before taking to the field in his country’s jersey. But he also has confidence in his team. Moeen also said, “Bangladesh is a strong team now. They have the ability to beat any team. Bangladesh tour is always difficult for any team. They play good cricket at home. They are unstoppable at home. Bangladesh – England will face each other in few days. Our team is pretty good. We will play to win. Hopefully the crowd will see a packed tournament.”

It should be noted that Moeen came to play for Comilla Victorians at the end of this year’s BPL. Where the English star entered the field for the team in the qualifiers and finals. Moeen got the taste of the champion after playing only two matches. He returned to England in a very cheerful mood after becoming champion. Using the BPL preparation and experience, the star cricketer will play against Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, the Bangladesh camp is also preparing for the upcoming England series. Team Bangladesh head coach Hathurusingha has already joined the team. After becoming the coach for the second time, his mission begins with the England series. Hathurusingha was seen talking to wicket curator Gamini before embarking on the mission. Since then, Sher-e-Bangla’s wicket has been discussed again. Whether Hathurusingha’s disciples will make a high-scoring match wicket for the series against England or will enter the field with some other plan is now a question of crores of rupees.
