A total of 16 teams in four groups are taking part in this year's Youth World Cup which started in West Indies. The best two teams from each group will advance to the quarter finals. Overcoming that hurdle, the teams will qualify for the semi-final and then final. However, the first goal of Bangladesh captain Rakibul Hasan is to ensure the semi-final. He said this at a press conference of the team captains held before the start of the tournament.

Momentum is the secret of Bangladesh's success. Last time, Akbar Ali's team brought the country to the first World Cup keeping the rhythm of the beginning. There was no big star, but the success came in the team craft. This time the chemistry of the team is also collective, playing as a unit, Bangladesh team has to pave the way for success. There are two big obstacles in front of the Tigers in composing that path.

First, the pressure of traditional expectations on world champions. Secondly, this time the preparation was not like last time. Rakibul also spoke about the lack of preparation due to Corona. Coach Naveed Newaz expressed the same regret yesterday, saying, "We are lagging behind in preparation. Every one of our camps was affected by Covid. So I can't say that preparation has been ideal. We played two whole series. In a short time, we have tried to build a strong team with the best of the best.”

Bangladesh will play against Canada on January 20 and UAE on January 22. However, these two matches will not be seen live on TV.
