As a professional player and a performer, it is quite obvious to face such questions if you are not performing or are not able to give your best performance for three-four matches. You have to accept it. In the first two matches, all the pacers went for six-seven runs per over. Our spinners were more useful in those wickets and conditions. That’s why I did not complete my ten overs. In the last match, I was required to bowl and eventually I bowled ten overs. I was okay until eight-nine overs but conceded ten runs in the last over,”

Mashrafe Mortaza said : "Mushfiq[ur Rahim] remains consistent, which is important," "Liton [Das] is doing his job. It would have been better had they both scored centuries. We would have reached 300 had [Mahmudullah] Riyad been there for a little bit longer. I think playing India's high-quality attack in the practice match is going to help us [in the tournament proper]. But we can't lose wickets in pairs. It makes chasing 350-plus very difficult. Liton and Mushfiq got out just when they were becoming aggressive, while Shakib and [Mohammad] Mithun got out first ball, although to good deliveries"

Mashrafe Mortaza said : "The younger players, some of whom have played in the previous World Cup, are giving us confidence," "If all of them continue in their good form, we can expect to have a good match [against South Africa]. The likes of Shakib, Tamim, Mahmudullah, Mushfiq and Mustafiz have delivered under pressure"

[Medidy Hasan] Miraz, too, has been bowling well recently. In this game, we tried to give all our spinners difficult situations to bowl at, so that in the tournament proper they become mentally equipped to deal with a storm of big hitting"

But if everyone gives their best, we have the ability to do a lot better,"

Mashrafe Mortaza stated : "I kept changing the bowlers and the good thing was that we got wickets at every stage. The spinners bowled really well and then set it up for Fizz (Mustafizur) and Saifuddin,"

Mashrafe Mortaza said : "Mushfiqur always plays that kind of innings, Shakib batted so well. Soumya set the tone and we finished off with Mahmudullah and Mosaddek," "We knew we had to bowl in the right areas, just keep changing our bowlers around to ensure we pick wickets. Good thing we were able to do well, spinners set the tone"

Mashrafe Mortaza said ( about Mustafizur Rahman ) : "We don't have to think about what going on outside. It is important that we have our own belief. I'll give you an example in Mustafizur. Now everyone doubting him. As a team, we have never been doubting ourselves. We always back Mustafizur," "We knew he's our best bowler and still he can change the game; which is more important, what we are thinking ourselves, not thinking outside, because the problem, people don't think about the problems,"

Mashrafe Mortaza said : "Our top-order is scoring some runs. Soumya batted well, Liton and Mushy did a good job. Overall, the top-order batsmen need to understand their role," "We have played in Ireland last two weeks so already four weeks we have spent here. We have some niggles. Rubel got injured, today also Mustafizur was struggling with his calf. Shakib is also struggling with his back spasms"
