Rhodes looked at the scribes and wittily said: “You will put that and nothing headline…” There were rolls of laughter in the media room, but a few seconds later, the coach put things in perspective. “If he’s not in Sri Lanka, then we move on… Bangladesh has to move on eventually without Mash,” Rhodes said. Appearances will happen, and probably success as well because of his terrific attitude…” From being minnows to giant killers — Bangladesh has come a long way and as another World Cup campaign nears an end, the coach assures that there shall be time for the ‘Tigers’ to roar!
