In a shocking turn of events, Taskin Ahmed, the Bangladesh cricket team’s veteran fast bowler, missed the T20 World Cup match against India due to oversleeping. According to reports, Taskin was sleeping in his room when he failed to wake up on time for the game. As a result, he missed the team bus and ended up joining the team late at the venue.
Despite this unfortunate incident, Taskin apologized to his teammates for missing the bus. However, Coach Chandika Hathurusingha decided not to include him in the KSI game against India, opting instead for Tanzim Hasan Saqib and Mustafizur Rahman as fast bowlers.
Fans and pundits alike were surprised by this decision, especially given Taskin’s late arrival. Despite this setback, Taskin played in the next match against Afghanistan and had a good performance. The official confirmed that Taskin had apologized to everyone for oversleeping and urged not to make a big deal of it.
Meanwhile, India won the match against Bangladesh by 50 runs thanks to notable performances from Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Shivam Dubey. Their powerful batting ensured a crucial victory in the T20 World Cup 2024.
