Summary
But maybe the change in tone is not a bad thing.When asked about the lack of buzz around the Bangladesh team, the captain Mashrafe Mortaza said, "It depends whether the hype is necessary or unnecessary. I think the players should focus on what has produced this expectation."Mashrafe has been part of World Cup campaigns in 2003, 2007 and 2015. We will feel more pressure if we take all the talks of expectations to the field."Mashrafe is correct in saying that the No. 7-ranked team cannot be tipped to win the World Cup even before they play a single match. And that is exactly why some in the know are happy the players don't pay too much mind to all the noise that is around them."I am not surprised but I am relieved that the players are not so active on social media," Ahmed Sajjadul Alam Bobby, a BCB director and well-known cricket administrator since the late 1970s, said.
