Bangladesh all-rounder Mahedi Hasan believes that playing methodical cricket will help them grow in T20I format.
He stated that there is no use in pleading for a proper power-hitter because Bangladeshis are not built to match the strength of cricketers from the Caribbean or elsewhere.
"We are Bangladeshi and no one is a power hitter here. Even if we want, we can't be the likes of Andre Russell of Kieron Pollard. But still we can improve in this format if we sincerely give our best," Mahedi said here on Tuesday in Mirpur.
However, Mahedi thinks that in order to somewhat improve their talent, they need a power-hitting coach.
"Yes, a power hitting coach is needed. But the skill that you have, the coach may improve it by 10 percent. But he can't improve it to 100 percent from 30 percent. We are born like this. You can't change things overnight" he added.
The series will start with the three T20Is scheduled to be played on July 30, 31 and August 2 and will be followed by the ODIs on August 5, 7 and 10 respectively.
All the matches will be held at Harare Sports Club.
