“First of all, I would like to say that as a team, we let down all the fans of Bangladesh who follow us and support us. So, I apologise on behalf of the team. As a batting group, we couldn’t give the best to the people of our country,” Shanto said at the post-match press conference.

“We feel sorry for that. We will try to come out of this situation in the future,” he added.

Crestfallen he may be, but Shanto drew some positives from the campaign. “The positive side is that the bowlers have bowled very well. Rishad [Hossain] has bowled very well in almost all matches in a big tournament like this. There were a lot of positives, but as a batting unit, we let down the fans and the people of our country,” Shanto said.
