Bangladesh captain wary of another crowd backlash

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan has said his players will have to ignore their passionate fans when they face England in the World Cup on Friday.
The Dhaka crowd turned on the co-hosts last week as they crashed to a record low 58 against the West Indies and lost the match by nine wickets.
It was a far cry from an earlier match when a 27-run win over Ireland prompted nationwide celebrations.
The country's premier stepped in to appeal for supporters to calm down and armoured personnel carriers were introduced to give added security for all teams.
Cricket World Cup tickets are available now.
