Bangladesh Skipper Najmul Hossain’s Bold Remark Ahead Of Test Series

Najmul Hossain Shanto, the captain of Bangladesh, stated that his team hopes to win both long-format matches before the two-match Test series against India. The two-match Test series between Bangladesh and India will begin on September 19 at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. Bangladesh is playing at its best right now, having defeated Pakistan 2-0 and winning their first test series on Pakistani territory. In the opening Test match, Pakistan was defeated by the Bengal Tigers by an overwhelming 10-wicket margin. In contrast, they won by six wickets in the second long-format encounter.

The Bangladesh cricket team is preparing to go to India, where they will face stiff opposition in two Test matches and three T20 internationals. Shanto and Miraz lead the squad, which arrives on Monday. Before traveling to India, the team carries the weight of a tremendous accomplishment, having broken away from an unsettling run of form in Test matches against Pakistan.

Despite suffering 12 losses in their past 13 games and only one tie to show for their efforts, they recently made history by winning a remarkable series. This huge series victory has not gone unnoticed; the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has awarded the players an extraordinary bonus of 3.2 crore taka. Before the first game of the series, Shanto said that the team’s success in Pakistan had boosted their confidence.

However, they will need to believe in the process to duplicate the feat against India. “It will be a challenging series but we have the extra confidence from the Pakistan series,” Shanto said in the pre-departure press conference in Dhaka. “I guess the whole country has that confidence now. Every series is an opportunity. We want to win both Tests, but we have to stick to our process. If we do our job, we can get a good result.

Bangladesh’s Strong Bowling

The captain of Bangladesh stated that it would be imperative to play till the final session of the fifth day, which would allow both sides to win. Beginning on September 27, Kanpur will host the second Test between Bangladesh and India. At the moment, Team India leads the WTC rankings with a point percentage of 68.52. They will play three Tests at home against New Zealand, and two Tests at home against Bangladesh. As well as the five Tests away against Australia in their next series.

The fact that Bangladesh has a strong bowling assault that can bowl in any situation was mentioned by Najmul Hossain. Shanto and Shakib, however, were unable to reach a half-century in Pakistan. Shanto has not been able to bring back his 2023 form, in which he scored five centuries and 1650 runs in a variety of formats. This year, he has just reached a century. In 16 innings, Shakib has only managed one half-century. Nevertheless, he has continued to show off his excellent bowling form, recently claiming nine wickets for Surrey against Somerset. He will join the team in India immediately after leaving London.
