UNB, Chattogram :
Mentioning that West Indies are a tough opponent, Bangladesh head coach Steve Rhodes said the Zimbabwe series has helped them prepare well for the upcoming home series against the visitors.
“I think in Sylhet and Mirpur, Zimbabwe made us fight all the way. Some people might be a little bit surprised at the 1-1 result and the hard-fought series. I think it will do us a lot of good going into a contest against West Indies who are obviously tough opposition. We needed to go there with some tough games under our belt,” he said.
The coach came up with the remarks while talking to journalists at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.
However, the coach is hopeful and looking forward to better results in the series as he said, “We saw them in July, but the condition here in Bangladesh is very different and hopefully we’ll have a really good two games against them.”
The coach wants to make sure that game is his boys’ own game; rather than the opponent’s strength. “You should make sure about your own game. If you play your own game, then you will go a long way.”
