Although Nahid Rana didn’t secure a victory in his debut match, he made a significant impact, creating a storm in the desert with his performance. The young bowler applied constant pressure on the opposition, claiming two crucial wickets with his effective bowling. By the end of the day, Rana earned praise from the coach for his efforts and contribution to the team.
At the post-match press conference, coach Simmons spoke highly of Nahid Rana’s impressive pace, noting that the bowler had clocked speeds of up to 150 km/h. "Actually, the way I look at it is, speed is something you can't buy from the market. You can't teach someone to bowl fast. So he has this talent," Simmons said. "We will try to take care of this exciting talent as much as possible. He is also a very exciting cricketer. Attitude, ball speed, everything. It was great to watch him play, we will try to develop him."
Phil Simmons' arrival in Bangladesh came as a surprise, and his time with the team has been challenging so far, with disappointing results in the two-match Test series and the ODI against Afghanistan. However, the coach is now setting his sights on the upcoming Caribbean series.
Reflecting on recent performances, Simmons said, "Actually, the two-Test series with South Africa did not go well, and the series here also did not go well. The conditions in St. Kitts will be the same as here in the ODI series. I can't really say what the conditions will be like in St. Vincent. The Tests are in Antigua and Jamaica. The boys are looking forward to the series."
The Tigers' coach is facing an injury-hit squad ahead of the West Indies tour. Despite the setbacks, he remains determined to make the most of the situation, stating, "Unfortunately we have a number of injury problems. But we have to fight from here and try to make the most of the opportunities."
