Dhaka Bangladesh January 21 ANI South Africa batter Faf du Plessis, who will be playing in the Bangladesh Premier League in 2022, feels that a player should be confident while playing in a short tournament.

A tournament like this is important because some guys are coming in without playing much cricket. Confidence is very important in a short tournament. Cricket is not played on paper. I have played enough teams to know that, said du Plessis, as reported by ESPncricinfo.

There are a lot of strong players and teams in the tournament. We have to make sure we play well and to our potential. We're going to be there and thereabouts by the end of the tournament. You try to find the right team at the beginning of the competition. He said that as the tournament progresses, we will get to our best team.

Du Plessis, who will be playing for Comilla Victorians in the BPL, said his first goal is to win the tournament and to contribute in every game as a batter.

You want to go to franchises that are successful. This team has done very well winning trophies. It is a very relaxed group with a very relaxed coach Mohammad Salahuddin Things look very good. The IPL, PSL and BPL is about becoming a more experienced and mature player all around the world, said du Plessis.

The first goal will be to win the tournament. The second goal is to contribute as a batter in every game. He added, "Towards the end of the competition, be up there with the leading run-scorers."

The former South Africa skipper praised all the people involved in the organising of the BPL during the COVID-19 epidemic.
