Best batsman in the world? Really? He's in for a rude awakening then. This lack of humility bothers me. Maybe this came across the wrong way in the print media, but for a local NCL hero not be excited about representing his country is an effing shame.
I don't think he said anything about being the best batsman in the world. Also I'm sure he's very excited about being in the national team but he's just stating that he's not going to just settle for the national team. He wants to go beyond that.

To me that's a great attitude to have. I could be wrong here but it seems the younger players such as Nasir, Bijoy, Mominul, Raju, and Taskin are more driven than our previous generations. Our previous generations seemed to just settle for the national team where the younger guys are aiming higher. Well it remains to be seen as to how they respond. Our 19/20 year old generation are extremely important to our success. We're still a #9 team and need more quality in order to become a better team.
