Down fall of Bangladesh cricket

Bangladesh ODI captain Mehidy Hasan expressed deep frustration after his team was swept 3-0 by Afghanistan, stating the side is failing to learn from its mistakes. "We are not learning from each defeat. We are not improving as required," Mehidy said, taking responsibility for the series loss. The batting unit collapsed dramatically, failing to bat their full 50 overs in the last two matches. They were bowled out for 109 and 93, respectively. "Our immediate priority is simple: we have to target playing 50 overs," Mehidy stated. "A team suffers when the batters don't take responsibility. We can't win a game without runs on the board." Looking ahead, Mehidy hopes a short break will help the team reset before the upcoming home series against the West Indies, which begins on October 8. "The team is feeling down. We are hopeful that spending time with our families will allow us to return with a fresh mind," he said. In a related development, batsman Litton Das, who missed the Afghanistan series, is awaiting medical clearance. Sources indicate he is unlikely to be available for the ODI series against the West Indies
