The recent clash between Bangladesh and India in the T20 World Cup brought some unexpected drama as vice-captain and pacer Taskin Ahmed missed the team bus due to oversleeping and not picking up calls from the management. This incident led to Taskin being left out of the playing XI, sparking speculation that the head coach might have dropped him.
A top Bangladesh Cricket Board official, speaking on conditions of anonymity, confirmed the situation but downplayed any tensions between Taskin and the coach. The official stated that Taskin apologized to the team for his mistake and further clarified that it was up to the coach to decide whether Taskin was part of the game plan against India.
Despite the controversy, Taskin later played in the game against Afghanistan, dispelling any rumors of a rift between him and the coaching staff. The official emphasized that there was no need to sensationalize the incident, as it was a simple case of oversleeping.
India emerged victorious in the match against Bangladesh, securing a significant 50-run win. However, Bangladesh failed to advance to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, which was eventually won by India after defeating South Africa.
