Dhaka: Talking about the World Cup goal, Bangladesh speedster Rubel Hossain has insisted that he wants to finish the tournament as one of the best five bowlers. The World Cup is scheduled to be played in England and Wales from May 30 to July 14.

‘We’ll play as many as nine matches in the World Cup. So, we have a big opportunity to do well. We’ll have some big teams as our opponents. If we can do better against them, it’ll be a memorable World Cup for us, ‘the right-arm pacer further said.

Rubel has played 12 matches in the World Cup so far. He played for the first time in 2011 when the World Cup took the place in Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka.
