It's Pathetic! That Bangladesh have only hosted 1 T20I since it's conception, and that against Zimbabwe back in 2006.

Any Format that gives you the opportunity to be called World Champions should be taken very seriously. They (the coaching) haven't taught anything in strategy or how to approach a T20 innings.

During our 1st T20 we initially played with a gang busters approach during the group stages, than in the super 8's we played like middle over ODI's 50/0 after 10 vs Australia, we built up so much Pressure, Brett Lee got a hattrick.

Now it's just picnic, lets just brush it off because were no good at it.

You pick a squad that can hit, slog, innovate for this format, the T20 World Cup is a few months ... It's very winnable!
Well said. This format presents its own psychosomatic and technical challenges that cannot be even glimpsed at by the cricketer unless they play enough T20s on sporting wickets. We have players like Milon, Zia and a few others who only SEEM to be decent choices for this version, but until and unless they prove that in the middle, it all remains guesswork and nothing else.
