    "editor1": "<p>Dhaka, June 16 (IANS)&nbsp;Bangladesh&#39;s young batsmen Soumya Sarkar and Sabbir Rahman, on whom lay a lot of hopes, have come a cropper in the ICC Champions Trophy in England and Wales.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIf local media reports are anything to go by, the pair have disappointed the fans who had a lot of expectations from them and left the onus on the seasoned campaigners to deliver the goods.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nWhile the likes of Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah have met expectations, what is worrying from Bangladesh&#39;s viewpoint is the fact that the next generation is not stepping up.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSoumya, 24, and Sabbir, 25, have scores of 28, 3, 3 and 0; and 24, 8, 8 and 19, respectively.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAccording to leading vernacular daily &#39;Prothom Alo&#39;, coach Chandika Hathurusingha wanted Sabbir as a permanent fix at No.3 but since October 2016, Sabbir has mustered just three half-centuries in 14 One-day Internationals (ODI) with his highest being 65.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/mohammad-amir-may-play-in-champions-trophy-final--28137\">CT2017: Mohd. Aamir may play in final<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after: always\"><span style=\"display: none;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Sabbir likes to play the big shots, the paper wrote, but lacks the ability to rotate strike and play the big innings, essentials for a No.3 batsman.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIt has been learnt that after the loss to India in the semi-finals on Thursday, coach Hathurusingha is mulling the option of changing his batting order.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nA few days back, another vernacular daily &#39;Jugantor&#39; also reported that it were the experienced hats who have done the job for Bangladesh during this Champions Trophy.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBangladesh indeed rode their experienced players&#39; performances to book a semi-finals berth albeit some assistance from rain in the game against Australia where they were down in the dumps when skies opened up and the points were split.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nNonetheless, the likes of Tamim, who hit a century and followed it up with a 95 in the first two games of the tournament, and Mushfiqur, who scored a fifty against England, helped the team punch above weight.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nTo cap things off, Shakib and Mahmudulah struck magnificent hundreds in a 224-run fifth-wicket stand that won them the game against fancied New Zealand, even after being 33\/4 chasing 266.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBangladesh defied all odds to reach their first semi-finals in any International Cricket Council (ICC) event, after the victory over New Zealand and, thereafter, England beating Australia the next day.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBut their campaign in the tournament was ended with a nine-wicket thrashing by defending champions India, who will now take on arch-rivals Pakistan in Sunday&#39;s final at The Oval.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
