Mirpur: Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim has openly admitted that some players in the current team are "insecured about their places" and that's the reason they are not able to give their best on the field. Playing their first match in Group 2, Bangladesh surrendered to the West Indies in a crushing 73-run defeat in an ICC World T20 match yesterday.

Asked if there's a mental blockage, Rahim gave a straightforward answer. "It is something I am still trying to figure out. The earlier team we had was where everyone used to play freely. Everyone had fixed slots which enabled them to play their normal game. But now, some players are probably insecured about their places in the team. If at the back of his mind, a player realizes that he is not able to perform, then he would be under pressure," Rahim was frank in his assessment.
