The sky there is very clear: Nasum blames conditions for not winning a match in New Zealand

"If we stayed there for 1.5-2 months, our fielding would have been better. Firstly, the sky there is very clear and the weather is very different from ours. We needed more time. If we could have had a camp there for 15 days, then things would have been better," Nasum told the media after returning to Bangladesh.

Nasum Ahmed has blamed the conditions in New Zealand for the way Bangladesh performed there, losing all their games.

Bangladesh played three ODIs and three T20Is in New Zealand, losing all of them against the hosts. 

"If we stayed there for 1.5-2 months, our fielding would have been better. Firstly, the sky there is very clear and the weather is very different from ours. We needed more time. If we could have had a camp there for 15 days, then things would have been better," Nasum told the media after returning to Bangladesh. 

Bangladesh had a horrible time in the field, dropping regulation catches in almost every match and missing run-out chances due to sloppy fielding and Nasum feels that the team tried their best.

"As a professional cricketer, our job is to adjust ourselves according to the conditions and we tried our best. But we failed to do so. The conditions were a problem for us," the off-spinner said.
