Default Is it BCB or the players?

BCB is incompetent at many levels. Domestic league is a farce and there is no goal to improve it. The current form has many roots in BCB's actions or the lack of it.

But is it fair to only blame the board? The players do have adequate resources in terms of coaching staff, gym, training facilities. Most of the player in the current squad have been playing cricket at top level for more than 5 years. But they keep on making the same mistakes, fall for same traps, and shows no sign of learning. For how many years is Kayes poking at outside delivery, Riyad failing to provide clutch innings, Tamim throwing it away after a good start?

Beside Shakib/Mushy (batting only), we don't have any player that have gradually improved the game over the years. All of them starts with a bang and then slowly fades away (Gazi, ESunny, Nasir etc). This shows the lack of urgency to constantly push for improvement.

Zim/Ire/Afg have less resources than us. They are paid less than us. They don't have full time coaching staff like us. Their domestic is almost nonexistent (exception IRE:county) but they are almost at par with us.

So yes, while the board has no visions and is very inept, the current players are the main culprit in my opinion. Despite the resources, wealth and celebrity status they have failed to deliver. They have failed to even meet the lowest of expectations.
