Bangladesh fans expect cricket team to atleast fight,if not win regularly-Senior Journalist

New Delhi, April 07 (ANI): Bangladesh has a not very impressive cricket history in its store with a relatively poor performance in ICC T20 World Cup 2014 too, where the team failed to reach even in the semi finals. Talking about the same, senior sports journalist Harpal Singh Bedi said that Bangladeshi fans don’t really expect the team to win all the time, but to keep a good fight, and that the nation too has gone significantly more positive towards cricket than football. Bedi said that though it was a shocker to get defeated by Afghanistan in the Asia Cup for Bangladesh, the team did beat many big teams in number of tournaments earlier. Further, the Sports Journalist pointed out to the differences in the Bangladesh cricket team as one of the reason for its depreciating performance. Bedi said that former captain Saquib Al Hasan also has his own grudges after he was removed from the post. Apr 7, 2014
