Bijoy failed in BPL, Fahim raised questions about emotions

The domestic league means the fountain of runs in the bat of Bijoy. Although he could not fully match himself in the national team, Bijoy has proved himself many times in the domestic league. From red ball cricket to Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), Bijoy’s rhythmic batting can be seen everywhere. But in this year’s BPL, this right-handed opener is not able to show himself. Even after starting well, he is unable to extend the innings. Coach Nazmul Abedin Fahim blames Bijoy’s emotionalism for this.

Bijoy is starting well in almost every innings. But he is gaudily getting out before settling down at the crease. However, he has to face criticism for this. However, Fahim, who mentors Fortune Barisal, said, “In practice, Bijoy performs well. Plays all the good shots at the net.” But Fahim feels that he cannot control his emotions while playing on the field.

In this context, Fahim said, “Bijoy looks good enough. He is batting very comfortably in practice. He is playing great shots. But he is becoming unrecognizable on the field. He is not able to choose the right ball, how to use which ball! The plan he came in to play, can’t execute that. I don’t see any deficit in skill. I think, he can’t control his emotions.”

Fahim also advised Bijoy in this regard. Barisal’s mentor also said, “All the opposing teams will have some good bowlers. They will bowl in the beginning. Since Bijoy is an opener, he will have to show more intelligence in ball selection. You can’t play shots by being emotional. The bowlers have to play judging them. To execute the plan on the field. If so, emotions must be shaken off.”

Meanwhile, the winning team in the tournament has reached the play-offs. Since he bats in Barisal’s top order, he has an important responsibility in this position. Bijoy faces the challenge of overcoming the group stage run drought. For this opener, who was also left out of the national team’s T20, this BPL could have been a comeback stage. In that case, if he can play a surprise innings, it will be very beneficial for himself. Let’s see if this batter of Team Bangladesh can break the cycle of failure and become successful.
