Bangladesh Coach

Bangladesh head coach Phil Simmons has strongly advised his players to distance themselves from social media following an unpleasant incident at Dhaka airport, where a few national cricketers were subjected to verbal abuse from fans upon their return from the UAE.

The Bangladesh team recently concluded a mixed tour against Afghanistan, dominating the T20I series 3-0 but losing the ODI series by the same margin. However, instead of a warm welcome, the players faced heavy criticism, both in person and online. Mohammad Naim, one of the players targeted, even took to social media to defend himself after the incident.

Bangladesh Coach Simmons Backs Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s Leadership

The controversy has reignited conversations within Bangladesh cricket about players’ social media presence and its potential impact on their focus and mental health. While the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has not enforced official restrictions, Simmons emphasized the importance of maintaining professionalism.

Amid mounting pressure on captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz after a string of poor performances, Simmons defended the young leader, urging critics to judge him fairly.
