Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto thinks that his group can take out some “special things” versus Pakistan in the two-match Test collection and alter their disappointing document versus the challengers. Bangladesh have actually never ever beat Pakistan in a Test suit. In the 13 Tests versus Pakistan, the site visitors have actually attracted one and shed 12. In the World Test Championship standings, Bangladesh are presently in the 8th placement.
“No (pressure). It’s a record, (and) record can be changed. It’s not going to be easy, but as I said we have a balanced side. We believe we can do some special things this time. Players are really excited to play here,” Cricbuzz estimated Najmul as claiming on Tuesday.
“I feel we had a good series against New Zealand but we didn’t play well against Sri Lanka. We have a good opportunity this time against Pakistan and I hope we’ll play good cricket here,” he included.
Najmul really feels that this time around their batters will certainly increase to the celebration and set up a program to keep in mind after revealing an inadequate run in current times. “We don’t want to do anything different (as a batting unit) as we all know our batting hasn’t been well in the recent past. But we’ve had good preparation this time. Players tried to prepare well as much time as they got. Everyone has the belief that our batting unit will do well this time.
“Besides, bowling is similarly essential to win aTest I believe we have a great chance as a group this time around. Last number of years we have had a great speed bowling device. We have three-four high quality rewriters too. So we (have) covered whatever,” he said.
The Bangladesh captain urged his team to move past the recent civil unrest in the country, which led to the government being overthrown following a student-led movement. The resulting turmoil disrupted Bangladesh’s preparations, forcing the team to travel to Pakistan earlier than planned.
“Everyone underwent a difficult time … actually depressing. Everyone had a hard time. No one actually longs for it,” said Najmul. “Also there is no other way to live in the past, we need to progress. But it was a difficult time for everybody, every household. Hopefully, we will certainly have much better days in advance. And as gamers, we wish to play our video game with the appropriate mind,” he said.
The skipper further said that he doesn’t believe Shakib Al Hasan’s performance will be affected by the downfall of the previous government, under which the all-rounder served as a lawmaker.
“No, I do not believe so (Shakib’s efficiency being influenced as a result of the political discontent). He is an expert cricketer, and all of us treat him as a cricketer. He has actually played this ready as long so he recognizes his duty, he recognizes just how to prepare himself. I’m not thinking of his political occupation. I wish he will certainly do something unique in this collection,” he wrapped up.
The initially Test in between Pakistan and Bangladesh will certainly be dipped into Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
