Cricket --- and no shame!!

The beauty about the Bangladesh cricketers is that they are never ashamed of their acts. I am sorry to say that none of the BD players have minimum intelligence to play the game and their minimum level of IQs needs to be examined. During the bygone days, almost all the cricketers were university students. I think the authorities should go for a minimum education level of the players before they are allowed to play for the national team. It is a game of intelligence in addition to skills and they are lacking it seriously. We need to stop lionizing our cricketers after a win out of 100 odd matches. They have tons of excuses and have the same old answer. Our media are responsible to a great extent for the nadir of our cricket today. What can a world-class coach do if the players do not listen or are unable to absorb his teachings? Our cricketers just shoot in the dark. The captain and the cricketers should not criticise their opponents at all before a game. It would be beneficial not only for them but also for the prestige of Bangladesh if they remain silent until a match is over. Our cricketers will never be serious unless until their pecuniary rewards are taken away. It is pointless even to think about Bangladesh cricket now. I would rather do some charity instead of spending money and time watching our cricketers in the field.
