In the T20 World Cup 2024 match between Bangladesh and India, Taskin Ahmed, a veteran fast bowler for the Bangladesh cricket team, was absent due to oversleeping. The team management was unable to reach Taskin as he was sleeping in his room and missed the team bus before the game. A team official had to stay back at the hotel until they were able to contact Taskin, who joined the squad late at the venue. Despite apologizing to his teammates for missing the bus, Taskin was not included in the playing XI for the game against India.
The decision to leave Taskin out of the playing XI surprised fans and experts alike, with Bangladesh opting for Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Mustafizur Rahman as their only two fast bowlers against India. Although Taskin did play in the following game against Afghanistan, there has been no word from Bangladesh’s head coach about why he was left out of that particular match. Many have questioned whether it was a punishment for missing the bus or if there were other reasons behind it.
Despite some controversy surrounding Taskin’s absence from the match against India, it appears that Bangladesh has moved on from it now. The coach’s decision not to play him in that particular game has been addressed, and fans are eagerly anticipating seeing him back on the field in future matches. With several talented young players joining Bangladesh’s squad for this tournament, there is reason to be optimistic about their chances of success moving forward.
