Bangladesh national cricket team shouldn’t be allowed in the next world cup if they continue to play with such disastrous performances.



Imagine letting a sports team determine your mood for the next 4 years and they come third last on the biggest stage of tournaments. Frustrating right? Us, Bangladeshi fans can relate because our so called “Shonar Chelera” has messed up another world cup. And this time, it's worse.

 

The one sport that unites all Bangladeshis together is cricket. As a Bangladeshi, you surely love cricket more than any other sport. Because the Bangladesh national cricket team is relevant for a long time now. From the era of Bashar-Ashraful to Miraj-Mustafiz, we have come a long way. Watching cricket is like another festival in Bangladesh. And the biggest stage of this festival is The World Cup. During the world cup, everyone’s excitement remains so high as the tournament occurs every four years. Bangladesh is a performer in most of the world cups. But are the performances really worth watching? Let’s analyze the Bangladesh team’s performance in this year’s world cup.

 

This year Bangladesh started the world cup with a win against Afghanistan. Then they lost six consecutive matches. However, they won the match against Sri Lanka but lost again to Australia that too by 8 wickets. They finished the tournament being 8th in the point table out of 10 countries participating.

 

 

 

 

 

This is one of the most shameful performances ever by the Bangladeshi team.

 

There are several reasons behind this loss other than just luck. First comes the immature behavior by Tamim Iqbal, one of the finest batsmen the team had. He stepped down from the team at the eleventh hour and that too for the reason being he was asked to bat at 3rd/4th down instead of opening. God knows what really happened between him and Shakib that he took such a decision at a short notice. Talking about Shakib, our poster boy. We expected more from him as he is the no. 1 all-rounder in the world. Opening showrooms, shooting ads, taking business trips are kind of his thing. Prioritizing businesses so much might have cost his practice periods and performances. Mahmudullah Riyadh was the only consistent performer in this world cup. And the funny part is, he was also left out from the squad initially. The Bangladesh cricket board is another mess. They are so clueless. Our team doesn’t know whom to open. There is not a single batsman to rely on. There is no batter on whom we can rely to open and make runs consistently. One match up, next match down. Absolute example, Liton Das. Overall, the team seems so less motivated. The hunger to win is still missing after 37 years of cricket.

 

According to my opinion, the Bangladesh national cricket team is not doing justice to the fans.

Families wait in front of the TV, friends make plans together to watch them play, big projector screens are arranged on the streets and some buy tickets and travel to support their team. We expect so much from our team just to get humiliated like this? I understand winning the world cup is not a piece of cake. Winning every match is not a piece of cake. But playing this disastrous is not just fate. It's so much beyond that. And if Bangladesh national cricket team continues to play with such disastrous performances, I don’t think they should be allowed to play in the next world cup.

Will the lives of street animals ever be safe?

                 Will the lives of street animals ever be safe? Name- Lubaba Ruksat  Student Id- 23201197 Section- M30  As an animal lover it is heartbreaking for me to witness the horrifying state of street animals. There are about forty thousand stray dogs and countless stray cats in our country. And most of them spend their whole life eating garbage and getting beaten by people. Even though many NGOs and local people feed the animals, the amount of  support is way less than the number of animals living on the streets. Not to mention, the harsh behavior of people towards the street animals.  Furthermore, the majority of street animals are malnourished. Their one of the only sources of food is garbage containers. And due to hunger they eat whatever they can swallow which can also be plastic and rocks, which is very harmful to them. Again, everyday more than a few animals get murdered or injured while passing the road. Des...

Is our society becoming incredibly Self-centered? A deep dive in the egocentric life of everyday people.

     Humans were long believed to be social animal. Our ancestors lived a hunter gatherer lifestyle. People lived in a tribe and shared responsibilities, therefore everyone had a part in the survival and nourishment of everyone around him. But as the world became more and more advanced, people had a lesser need to be in a group. And with the diminishing of joint families in recent times, People are becoming more solitary than ever before.      The rise of the internet has completely changed how we stay in touch with people, no matter where they are. It's amazing how we can connect instantly, making it feel like we're always close, even when miles apart. But, this convenience has shifted our focus towards online communication, making face-to-face conversations less common, especially among younger folks. Younger generations might miss out on developing vital social skills because they spend more time chatting online than meeting in person. The way we talk, u...

Brushing Through My Palette Of Imagination In The Silent Language Of Art

Image
Art is the proof of living,that you have lived once and you have felt once. A mirror reflecting the diversity of human experiences is a good definition of art.It mostly serves as a demonstration to the richness of the wide human imagination and the limitless possibilities of creative expression. My journey with art began from a very early age when my parents saw me drawing spiders and flowers and admitted me to a neighbourhood art school. And this school did not just introduce me with the freedom of my imagination but also became my second home that teaches me how to find comfort in the stroke of a paint brush and how limitless human experience could be! The most unique thing about art is that there's no rules or structural clock. As a child I drew everything wrong until I discovered there's no right or wrong in art. I had no idea that the wrong paint could be so rightfully beautiful and that just made me feel the most humane I've ever felt in my entire life. All forms of ...
