We have to wait till 2023, when the World Cup will return to the subcontinent. 2019 is no good, because the Imruls and Imrul 2.0s (read Anamul Bijoy) will fish blanks in English and Welsh conditions, conveniently humiliating themselves against the likes of Burkina Faso and Kiribati.
At least in the subcontinent we can make a comeback off a 58 a/o against a Test playing team by beating Ireland by a solitary run and then celebrating like we won the tournament. Then again, we won't have Ashraful's double bouncers to save our sorry behinds. Ken Ashraful ken tui taka khaite geli.
