Great contribution to historic Test win on New Zealand soil. Patience was tested with the bat. He scored a great century against South Africa. However, youth world cup winning cricketer Mahmudul Hasan Joy is not able to show consistency in Test cricket.
Joy did not score more than thirty runs in any of the 6 innings of the last three Tests. The last fifty was against New Zealand last December. In all 13 Tests, Joy was dismissed 6 times for no runs. Against South Africa in 2022, he also made a bad record of being dismissed for no runs in two innings. He averages 25.98 with 1 century and 4 fifties.
When faced in front of the media in Mirpur on Monday, Joy faced questions about the wicket and average. Talking about the importance of preparation at this time, this right-handed batsman said that he is trying to find a solution.
“Our preparation is very important. Tigers camp is happening, we are preparing well there. I have thoughts about that, how to improve the average in the future, how to perform consistently, there are thoughts about that. We are trying to resolve them as much as possible.’
The Tigers were preparing intensively at the camp in Chittagong for the Test series against Pakistan. Jay got injured there. He will be fit and return to bat in a few weeks. Will fly to Australia on July 13. There will be two four-day matches, 3 ODIs for the Hyperperformance team.
Talking about the injury, the batter said, ‘No, it was in a practice session with our Chittagong Tigers. Six stitches. Updating, the doctor is looking at it. Updating, the stitch will be cut by the 10th. Inshallah, I will be back on the 13th-14th.’
Joy also spoke about the inconsistency of the Test opening pair. He said he always tries to take advantage of opportunities.
‘Everyone tries to do well wherever they play. It can be seen now that injuries can be caused by poor performance, not in one’s own hands Always try to take advantage whenever I get an opportunity.’
