    Next cup...please have bangladesh play pre qualifying round with canada, usa and nambia. They not ready to play with qualifying teams like Ire, Nederlands, afg and all.

    Sadly Mustafizzur was injured and could not play the first 2 matches. With him in all matches Bangladesh surely had a chance to qualify. Neertheless this lad is surely the best bowler now in the world.
