Russell Domingo state that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is reliable for the stunt in growth when it comes to the team’s development in the shortest format.
The squad walked out of the 2021 T20 World Cup unless a single victory in the group stage and has only gone on to win 2 games since then.
The management lately made a huge call by nominating former Australian assistant coach Sridharan Sriram to take over the Bangladesh T20 team until the 2022 T20 World Cup. Consequently, Domingo’s responsibilities are restricted to the ODI and Test teams.

Opining that players are constantly given orders by the board, Domingo informed leading Bangladeshi Daily, Prothom Alo:
“In the last eight to 10 years, cricketers did not get this kind of coaching and they cannot think anything on their own because the board scolds them and the director of coaching (Khaled Mahmud) scolds them and they were told in every step what they need to do and this is the biggest challenge of Bangladesh cricket because cricketers cannot think anything on their own,”
BCB holds constrained relationships with a select group of performers such as Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan. The veteran batter was in trouble with the board for not clarifying his status for T20 cricket and chose to retire from the format totally.
Shakib, at the same time, was asked to cut ties with a sponsor if he wanted to represent the country again.
“All the time I was sate that you want to scream at them” – Russell Domingo
Since the conclusion of the T20 World Cup, Bangladesh has gone on to drop the T20 bilateral series against Pakistan, West Indies, along with Zimbabwe.
The management lately nominated Shakib Al Hasan as the skipper in the shortest format amid their injury crisis to search for a change in fortunes.

Opining that upper authorities need him to be a little rough on performer, Domingo said:
“You can ask the cricketers I wanted to have a calm atmosphere in the dressing room and wanted to develop cricketers with clarity but so many people are making noise from close quarters that it was not possible. ”
He added:
“All the time I was told that you need to scream at them and you have to be strict and that is the way to deal with the cricketer and I am sure earlier coaches were like that but they hardly did anything in T20 because Bangladesh won only one game in T20s and I went with them in one World Cup,”
Bangladesh will begin its Asia Cup 2022 campaign with a fight against Afghanistan on 2022 August 30 at the Sharjah Cricket Ground.
