Oversleeping and Out of the Squad: The Case of Taskin Ahmed in T20 World Cup 2024

A report emerged that Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed missed the T20 World Cup 2024 match against India due to oversleeping. Taskin was not able to be reached by the team management because he was asleep in his room and thus missed the bus before the game. A team official stayed back at the hotel to try and contact Taskin, who later joined the squad at the venue. Despite his tardiness, the reasons for not playing him were left to head coach Chandika Hathurusingha to explain.

The decision not to include Taskin in the playing XI surprised fans and experts, as Bangladesh only went with Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Mustafizur Rahman as their fast bowlers for the game. The coach clarified that if there were any issues between him and Taskin, it did not affect Taskin’s participation in the next game against Afghanistan. Taskin apologized for his tardiness, and the matter was handled without making a big issue out of it.

India went on to win the match against Bangladesh by 50 runs, with Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Shivam Dube contributing runs to secure a vital victory in the T20 World Cup 2024. The Indian batsmen put up a strong performance despite Bangladesh’s strong bowling attack led by Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Mustafizur Rahman.
