According to a senior BCB official speaking to Cricbuzz anonymously, Taskin’s absence from the playing XI was not a result of a conflict with the head coach, Chandika Hathurusingha. The official clarified that Taskin had overslept and missed the team bus, leading to his exclusion from the game against India. However, Taskin later joined the team and played in the following match against Afghanistan.
While Hathurusingha declined to comment on the situation, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the team’s on-field performances, it is evident that Taskin’s late arrival created a minor disruption. Nevertheless, he has apologized to his teammates and acknowledged his mistake. The incident sheds light on the importance of punctuality and discipline in professional cricket, as players are expected to adhere to strict schedules and commitments.
