Mehidy not worried about captaincy Mehidy Hasan Miraz expressed confidence in his role as Bangladesh’s ODI captain, despite recent struggles with his personal form and the team’s overall results. Since taking over the leadership role a year ago, the cricketer has guided the team to just three victories in nine matches. Speaking about the pressure, Mehidy emphasized that he has never been concerned about his position. “I’m not worried at all,” he said. “Since the last World Cup, how many series have we played? Maybe around 15 ODIs, and we’ve played them with big gaps in between.” He acknowledged that expectations for his performance might not have been fully met, noting that his results have been “just average.” However, he reiterated his commitment to helping the team succeed. Mehidy also addressed the possibility of his captaincy being reviewed. He clarified that the decision to continue or change the leadership role is not his alone to make. “That is not my decision alone. It’s a decision for the people in the cricket board,” he said. While the board has not yet discussed his future, Mehidy hinted that the matter might come up after key series, such as the upcoming match against Pakistan. “Since this series is very important for us, maybe after this series or the next one it will be discussed,” he added. The captain’s performance since assuming the role has been mixed. He has scored 173 runs at an average of 21.62 and taken 11 wickets at 32.9. Mehidy emphasized that his primary focus has always been the team’s success. “I have never been really worried about myself. I always try to play as well as possible for the team’s need,” he said.#cricket_board #mehidy_hasan_miraz #bangladesh_cricket_board #odi_captaincy #bangladesh_team
