18. • The successes of 2015 look even better when you remember how down in the
dumps they were for most of 2014. Captain Mashrafe Mortaza and coach
Chandika Hathurusingha have combined well with their honest approaches to
bring a passionate, team-first attitude back into the dressing room. In his third
stint as captain, Mortaza has injected his own enthusiasm into even the most
dour characters.
• He also had the confidence of his fellow senior players, like Shakib Al
Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah, while
Mustafizur, Soumya Sarkar and Sabbir Rahman have brought their own brand of
exciting cricket to the mix. They played as a family, helping Rubel Hossain in
difficult times, and ensuring someone like Nasir Hossain felt a part of the team
despite losing his old batting spot.
• The genesis of this new Bangladesh was the 5-0 win over Zimbabwe in late 2014,
after which Hathurusingha and Mortaza took the team through hard training
camps in Dhaka and Brisbane in January this year. But preparations for the
World Cup campaign went so badly that after the fourth consecutive defeat in
the practice matches, Mortaza publicly criticized them.

down in the last over, leaving Australia
shell-shocked. Beating the undisputed
