Bangladesh T20I captain Jaker Ali stated on Wednesday that winning matches takes precedence over adopting modern cricket trends as his team prepares to face Afghanistan. The wicketkeeper-batsman addressed reporters at Sharjah Cricket Stadium before the opening match of the three-game series. Jaker assumed leadership duties after regular skipper Litton Das sustained an injury while practicing before the Asia Cup Super Four match against India in Dubai.

The stand-in captain acknowledged that batting remains the squad's primary weakness following disappointing totals of 127 against India and 124 for nine against Pakistan in the recent tournament. Bangladesh also dropped a 2-1 series to the United Arab Emirates in Sharjah last May. Jaker emphasized that players must accept accountability for on-field errors rather than shifting blame to coaching staff. He recognized Afghanistan's formidable spin bowling attack while expressing confidence that his team would compete based on its strengths rather than external expectations.
