Agency :
In absence of experienced Shakib Al Hasan, Mehedi Hasan Miraz will be the key spin figure for Bangladesh in the first Test against Zimbabwe starting on November 3 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
Exuberant about having his role in the forthcoming challenge, Mehedi said he is confident to accomplish the task.
“It’s unfortunate that we will miss the services of our two senior cricketers [Shakib and Tamim Iqbal] in the two-match Test series. The presence of Shakib Bhai, especially, always gave me additional confidence during my bowling but we have two other spinners [Taijul Islam and Nazmul Islam] and
I am confident that we can do the job together,” Mehedi said.
Hoping to have some assistance from the wicket of the Sylhet International Stadium, the newest Test venue of the country, Miraz said, “The pitch was covered yesterday due to rain but from what I saw today, the ball may turn here. This is a new Test venue and fortunately we have got enough time to get accustomed to the conditions here.”
Having no complacency regarding to play against a relatively weaker opposition, the youngster said, “Our target is to win the Test match and we have to do well in both innings and all departments.
We can in no way underestimate Zimbabwe as they are a good team. We won the ODI series because we played good cricket,”
Bangladesh are flying high whitewashing Zimbabwe in the three match one day international series. The two match Test series will begin from November 3 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium followed by the second Test at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, starting from November 11.
