It’s time for us to put up a good show in this World Cup: Shakib
Bangladesh's highest success in the World Cup is the quarter-final. They never played in the semi-finals. The top four teams in the points table will go directly to the semi-finals in this round-robin league.

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan thinks that it is time for Bangladesh to do something good in the World Cup. The Bangladesh captain said at the ICC Captains’ Day just one day before the World Cup, which will start on October 5 in India, that this time Bangladesh wants to do something that has never been done before.
Bangladesh's highest success in the World Cup is the quarter-final. They never played in the semi-finals. The top four teams in the points table will go directly to the semi-finals in this round-robin league.
Shakib said in the ICC Captains’ Day, "I think we prepared well. If you talk about the last four years since the 2019 World Cup, We’re probably 3rd or 4th in the ODI Super League. So as a group, we have done really well. Now it’s time for us to put up a good show in this World Cup. Our team is ready and the country is expecting a little more than what we did previously."
Shakib is satisfied with the preparation, and also satisfied with the form of the team. Of course, when Shakib is the captain of the team, it is natural to be satisfied! He was in dream form in the last World Cup. However, there is no pressure on the world's best all-rounder before entering the field.
He added, “No, Not really. I don't feel any pressure being top all-rounder. It’s always inspired me to do better. Personally, I never looked at any stats. As long as I’m contributing for the team. Team comes first and that’s the motto throughout my career and that’s how I want to go about it.”
