Guyana: Bangladesh are the surprise entrant into the Super Eights stage of the World Cup and their skipper Habibul Bashar has hit out at people who bemoan the absence of India and Pakistan, saying they do not have a right to be in the finals.
"Someone asked me whether the World Cup has become stale after the exit of India and Pakistan," Bashar wrote in his column in the Prothom Alo newspaper.
"It seems that at any cost India and Pakistan should be included in the Super Eight. They are not saying that India and Pakistan lost two out of their three first round matches," Bashar said.
Bashar believed that India and Pakistan did not have the right to play in the Super Eights.
"They don't have the right to play in the Super Eight," he said. "If this attitude persists, one should organise 'Top Ranking Cup' instead of the World Cup, where the teams will play according to their rankings."
He said that the World Cup was not a property of one or two teams.
"The World Cup is not a property of one or two teams. It belongs to every one and the best team will win the Cup," he added.
Bashar was annoyed with critics who were still not convinced that Bangladesh should be in the Super Eights even after they caused a big upset by beating South Africa, who were the top ranked ODI team then, by 67 runs on April 7 in Guyana.
"This win was important for us. We have shown we are not just here to make up the group but we are capable of winning too," Bashar said.
"We always have belief we can play good cricket. We always believe we came in Super Eight because we had done something good in first round. But we needed to prove ourselves as well that we can play at this level," he said.
Bangladesh meet England in their next match at Barbados on Wednesday, followed by Ireland and West Indies at the same venue.
