Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed is eyeing to be more consistent to complement his extreme pace as he believe that it will help him to be dangerous.
Pace is something that always was in his armory and the world had already noticed how dangerous he could be for a batsman when he remains consistent but consistency is the thing that was a missing link for the most part of his six-year long career.
“There is visible improvement in my fitness than in the past but there is no end to the improvement but if I want to take myself to a world class level, and be more consistent I know I have to work hard,’’ said Taskin after the skill session at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.
‘’Hopefully something good will happen in future and I will try my best to improve at fitness-wise and skill-wise so that I can be more consistent,’’ he said.
Taskin made an epic start to his career, by claiming 5-28 against India but his career took a nosedive because of recurring injury that led his axe from the team and after then, he is struggling to get back his rhythm.
During the 2019 BPL, he worked with legendary pacer Waqar Younis and regained the killer form to make him available in the world cup bound squad. However another injury saw him another heartbreaking axe from the team.
Taskin took the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) as the platform to make him available in the national team again as he was searching for rhythm and pace but the outbreak of Covid-19 not only suspended the cricketing activities of the country for indefinite time but also left him frustrated.
Taskin said the work with the coaches virtually during the lockdown and practically after the individual training session starts helps him a lot to regain his rhythm pace.
“The rhythm was better than the past and I am now comfortable with that. I have been working hard with my pace and seam position with the coaches. If I remain healthy and fit, I hope I will gain the rhythm that I like to have. Hopefully alongside rhythm I will also make my accuracy, seam position and pace better,” he concluded.
