Came to make a difference in spin department of Bangladesh team: Mushtaq Ahmed

Sports Desk: A few days ago Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) appointed Pakistani legspinner Mushtaq Ahmed as the new spin bowling coach of Bangladesh team. The new bowling coach arrived in Bangladesh on Monday. After that, Mushtaq came to the BCB office on Tuesday. It is there that this Pakistani legendary cricketer talks about making a difference in the spin department of Bangladesh cricket.

In a video released by BCB, Mushtaq hugged Mushfiqur Rahim while he was joining the Tiger team. Captain Nazmul Hossain also shook hands with Shanta. Muminul Haque, Taijul Islam were also present there. He also met the head coach Chandika Hathurusingha.

Assistant Manager of Cricket Operations Shahriar Nafis handed over the practice kit of the Bangladesh team to the new coach during the conversation with the coach-players. Mushtaq’s campaign will start with the Zimbabwe series.

But on his plans to work with the Tigers, Mushtaq said, “I am here to make a difference in the spin department.” I can share my knowledge with young and senior players. Hopefully we can make a difference. Youngsters are very talented cricketers. So we can share our experience with them. I believe they are very talented. They can challenge any team. -The Daily Star

The work is challenging but Mushtaq is taking responsibility. In this regard, he said, it is very challenging. It is completely different from the rest of the world in terms of coaching skills. You have to adapt and be very proactive. Basically cricket should be understood.
