Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam has stated that he is fully prepared for the upcoming two-match Test series against Pakistan and braced to take Babar Azam’s ‘dream’ wicket.

Shoriful returned to the long format of cricket after a long gap, since he was busy with consecutive franchise tournaments LPL and GT20. Following his franchise commitments, he had a short time to prepare himself for red-ball cricket.

Shoriful joined the team on Friday and is eager to put up a tough fight against Pakistani batters, notably his former LPL teammate Babar.

“Babar, and Shan Masood are world-class batsmen. But our bowling attack is also strong enough. We can put up a strong fight against them. As they are playing in their home ground, our task will be difficult. We have to stay prepared,” said Shoriful at the press conference.
