Bangladesh team director Khaled Mahmud termed the side's 2-1 loss to Zimbabwe in the recently-concluded three-match T20I series a "disgrace". He added that players played as if they were trying to seal their spots in the team.

Mahumd's words come after Zimbabwe won their first-ever T20I series against Bangladesh, winning by 10 runs in the series-decider at Harare on Tuesday. Bangladesh lost the first match of the series by 17 runs before hitting back with a seven-wicket victory in the second game. But they failed to clinch the series in the decider match.
