Isn't this decision risky, especially when his participation in the World Cup is still uncertain? If Taskin does not recover in time, Hasan Mahmood will probably take his place. In such a situation, BCB will have to look for another vice-captain!
Answering these questions, Ghazi Ashraf expressed hope that the team will not have to face such a situation.
“Based on the information we have, we are hopeful that he will recover at some stage during the World Cup. That is why he has been included in the team,” the chief selector stressed.
