Shakib Al Hasan said about playing Tests selectively a long time ago. The challenge of playing Tests against the other two formats is very high. is old Additional work has increased. All in all, his bat-ball equation is difficult to match in white-clothes cricket.
Shakib played his last Test against Ireland last year. He is returning to red-ball cricket with the second Test match against Sri Lanka, which is expected to start from Saturday. One of the best all-rounders in the world is very excited to return to the Test team after a year.
He is determined to give the best to the country with his best, ‘There is no personal goal. I don’t think I’ve ever thought about any personal goals or achievements as long as I’ve been playing cricket. Always thinking how to contribute to the team. It is a matter of pride to perform and represent the country. I am delighted and proud to return to Test cricket as usual.’
Bangladesh were simply crushed in the first Test in Sylhet. Bangladesh lost the match by a huge margin of 328 runs. Bangladesh’s record in Chittagong is good. Shakib’s eyes are full of tears after returning to Test, ‘I always hope to win. We have always struggled in Test cricket. hard for us But I believe we should do well against Sri Lanka and win the Test match.’
Batting was the main reason for Bangladesh’s loss in Sylhet. Could not make more than two hundred in two innings. Under the leadership of Shanta, Bangladesh made a good journey in the Test Championship, but lost two consecutive matches and fell behind again. But Shakib has full confidence in new captain Shantu, ‘very early stage (of Shantu’s leadership). I am sure BCB has given him long term consideration. His start is very good. Some fruits have come for him which will help him to develop. With everyone’s support, I think it will give great results.’
Shakib pulled himself out of the home series against Sri Lanka due to personal reasons. He was not supposed to play the entire series. But a few weeks ago, Shakib himself told selectors and Chairman of Cricket Management Department Jalal Yunus that he wants to play the second Test in Chittagong.
Shakib did not stop at just expressing his interest in playing. The process of his return to the field begins. Apart from playing three matches in the Dhaka League, he also sweated in Mirpur’s net. He ran around the stadium. Time in the gym. Now it is his turn to return to the field.
Shakib will join the team at night even though the Bangladesh team is practicing today. He will make final preparations before entering the field tomorrow.
