Bangladesh out going Coach Stuart Law, has called Bangladesh's youngsters it's future. Bangladesh cricket team has bright future with young players such as Nasir Hossain. He is always exciting to watch and has a strong place in national team. However, He pointed out the youngsters would need good hands to sharpen their talent.
Law, who resigned recently after being in-charge of the Bangladesh team for nine months, was particularly pleased with Anamul Haque, the top-order batsman who was part of the Asia Cup squad but didn't make his international debut. "Anamul Haque another youngster, is a quality player," he said, "Especially during the Bangladesh Premier League, he played very well and with his performance it looked like he was born to perform."
Another player Khulna batsman, who is only 19 years old has scored heavily and raised the excitement in domestic cricket this season, topping the first-class batting charts with 816 runs, apart from five centuries in all formats. Anamul's has great form and won him a place in the Asia Cup squad that held in March but he couldn't find a place in the XI. During one of those days, something that Anamul said stuck with Law.
Stuart Law praised two other youngsters. "I've been trying to see Mominul Haque get into the team. He's scored runs in the A team tours. We've been discussing him at lengths in selection meetings. He looked like a quality young player. [Abul Hasan] Raju, I love him. He bowls quick with 140-plus, has the slower ball, With the time and practice he will get better as he plays more."
The growth of the young players was the underlying theme of Law's reign as the head coach as he wanted a few more performers within the team apart from Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal. Nasir Hossain made his international debut against Zimbabwe in August in Law's first series in charge and since then he has scored a Test fifty, made an ODI hundred and seen Bangladesh through to a win against Sri Lanka.
"You look for the standout players and those two Shakib and Tamim have been carrying Bangladesh for a while. I told the rest of the team that it is not about two players. It's about other people sticking their hand up and doing well. Guys like Nasir has come through, he's basically up there with Shakib and Tamim." But Law made it clear that he wasn't looking to only the big performers who had to do well day in day out. He especially had thankful words for the world's number 1 allrounder though he reminded Shakib to take care of his fitness more. "He's professional on the field but off the field he's different. I don't mean this in a bad way, but he could be more fit. He's admitted that he can work a bit harder on those aspects."
Stuart Law is leaving Bangladesh on May 6th, Sunday. In a good bye message he said, "I know it's a different culture but as an outsider looking in, it can't be good for cricket. We are all trying to say that domestic cricket is where we want our cricketers to learn, they're learning by sitting back. That's not helping them at all."
