Newly-appointed Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan played down his team`s chances at the Asia Cup 2022 and said his goal for the tournament is to prepare for the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year. Bangladesh will travel to the UAE for the upcoming Asia Cup 2022 on the back of a poor run in the shortest format of the game and with Shakib given another chance at the captaincy after Mahmudullah`s three-year reign finished earlier this year.
Shakib`s side is drawn in Group B against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka for the six-team tournament that commences on August 27 and the star all-rounder is keeping his expectations low for the showcase event. "I have no goals," Shakib said when asked about how his team will perform at the Asia Cup. "My only aim is that we can do well in the (T20) World Cup and these are the preparations for it. If someone thinks that I can change things within one or two days or that someone else will come to change it, then we are living in a fool`s kingdom. If you are able to think practically, our true development will be seen when the team really does well in the World Cup in three months` time, " said Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan.
