Bangladesh national cricket team spin bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed highlighted the paramount importance of mental strength in international sports, stating that cricket is at least 50 percent a mind game.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday (September 24, 2026), the veteran spin mentor emphasized that strong fundamentals combined with psychological resilience are essential for top-tier performance. Reflecting on Mehidy Hasan Miraz's recent bowling success in Australia, Mushtaq attributed the performance to disciplined bowling strategies focused on delivering solid overs rather than chasing individual deliveries. He praised Bangladesh's spin contingent—including Taijul Islam, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, and Tanvir Islam—for their collective contributions to recent series victories. Mushtaq reiterated that ongoing technical and tactical adjustments regarding biomechanics, action, and balance remain vital for sustained international competitiveness.
