Bangladesh hopes to erase the record of discomfort and improve in batting

Bangladesh have lost 12 out of 13 Tests against Pakistan. Bangladesh is going to start another test with the burden of such a record. Is it getting stressful?'

Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto gave a very eloquent answer to the Pakistani journalist's question. Bangladesh is not in a very comfortable place in Test cricket. Bangladesh played the last two Tests at home. Full of both. Badly lost to Sri Lanka.

After a long break, Bangladesh is going to enter the field again in white clothes. When Pakistan is the opponent, it comes back to Karachi, Dhaka, Lahore, Chittagong, Khulna Tests. Where the weight of non-attainment is greater than attainment. Bangladesh captain Shanto wants to erase such an embarrassing record 'It's just a record. Records can be modified. Although the task will not be easy.

The task is not easy because the batsmen of Bangladesh are in extreme off-form. The batsmen have been suffering from a consistent run drought for a long time. Everyone knows that batting is the team's biggest concern at the moment. Shantas are working for their own betterment. Bangladesh captain said to expect good things in this test.

“I don't want to do anything different. We all know the batting has not been going well for the last few days. We haven't done that well in a few series. But talking about preparation, this time we were able to prepare well. Players, we who got the opportunity tried to prepare well. Every player believes that we will do well, especially the batting unit. Also bowling is very important to win a test match. We think we have a good chance as a team this time.'

Along with the whole team, Shanto wants to get runs with his own bat, 'As a batsman, I always think about how to develop the skill. Whenever I practiced, I worked on any areas of lagging that could be improved. Hopefully it will help me in the match.'

Pakistan is fielding four pacers in this match. Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Ali and Khurram Shahzad will rotate hands in Pindi's 22 yards. Bangladesh squad includes Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana, Shariful Islam, Taskin Ahmed and Syed Khaled. It is already known that Taskin will not be able to play the first Test. The experience of the four pacers is not much. But they have the ability to challenge.

“I think our pace bowling attack has been doing really well in the last couple of years. We also have three to four quality spinners. We have the capacity to cover whatever the match requires. When we take the field tomorrow, we will make the XI based on the wicket. As he said, fast bowlers get advantage here. They are also looking forward to doing well here, in this condition.'
