BD reaches PLATE FINAL, ICC U-19 WC

[Shubho]

Good on the boys for salvaging some pride. But let's be honest, we're waaaaay past the point where we should be satisfied with a 9th place finish at the U-19 level. Let me repeat that: 9th place finish. There simply is no satisfaction in finishing 9th. Particularly if you're the best-prepared team going into the tournament.

It's time for the management to pick up the pieces, analyze the shortcomings, and work towards ironing out whatever is amiss.

Above all, don't rush these boys into the senior side. Wait 6-7 years, put them through the rigours of domestic cricket, then think about selecting them.
