Aaqib Javed talks to Tigercricket about the pace prospects of Bangladesh and his career as a coach (important excerpts):
“They are very good learners and if they practice accordingly I hope that at least three or four will finally make it to the national team. ”
“After this camp the young pacers now know their duty and they need to work on it. I told them you are not allowed to play matches in three months time. Do not go to the nets. Work separately without the batsman. Try to do what you have learned from me. ”
“I really want to come back after three-four months to see the progress of these boys. ”
“I would love to work with the Bangladeshi pacers. Not only at the national level, at any level whenever an opportunity arrives I will come back Bangladesh again. ”
“And then finally the environment. That is very important. You have to prepare an environment where the bowlers can be encouraged to bowl fast. I think the only way to produce quality fast bowlers by providing them a favorable environment which we have in Pakistan. ”
“Fast bowling is all about character and attitude. You have to have the attitude of bowling fast and hitting people. That should be your motto. So for most of the Sub-continent the problem remains in the attitude. ”
“Look at Sri Lanka. In the 1992 World Cup they were almost at the same level as the current Bangladesh side or ever worse than that but they became world champions in 1996. For a similar kind of success in 2011 Bangladesh should concentrate on some particular areas. The batsmen should become skilled at dealing with the short-pitched ball and the bowlers should be encouraged to bowl fast and they should learn the art of reverse swing. They should also try to find a quality leg spinner in four years time. If you can fill these gaps and your current national players can continue their development, Bangladesh have a good chance of doing very well in the next World Cup in the subcontinent.”
