The day before the start of the test series, everyone on the Bangladesh team was seen in practice. After almost 1 year of testing, everyone must have the excitement. However, when the West Indies are the opponents in their own backyard, they are also weak and the Muminul-Tamim should be calm. Maybe the points in the test championship will equalize!
In cricket, it is always a risk to catch something in advance. However, the team that was shut out by Bangladesh in the last series, this time they are weaker, the expectation of winning both Tests against them is not too high. At the end of 3 matches in the ICC Test Championship, Bangladesh has zero points, at the end of this series it is expected to score 120 points.
The Bangladesh team’s campaign begins on Wednesday. The first of the two-game series begins at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. The game started at 9:30 in the morning.
As usual, Bangladesh will be watching the spinners.
Inertia can be a great challenge for Bangladesh. The Muminuls are set to play their first test since testing against Zimbabwe in February. No first-class matches were played during this long period. In recent days there have been several ODI and T20. So it can take time to adjust to oversized cricket.
The day before the game, Captain Mominul, however, told a virtual press conference that he saw it as a new opportunity.
“It is true to go back to (tryout) cricket after a year. It seems to me that since I come back after a year, there is another opportunity to start trial cricket again. I see this as an opportunity. There is a little challenge in the International cricket. What I think is better than that is that we as a team have the opportunity to perform well, to start over. “
Who could be a better opponent than this weak West Indies team to start over! However, the Caribbean Test squad is much better than the team that was whitewashed in the ODI series a few days ago. Aside from Jason Holder and Roston Chase, there is no one missing from the test team.
In batting, Craig Brathwaite, John Campbell and Jermaine Blackwood are part of the main team. The bowling attack is strong enough. Shannon Gabriel, Kemar Rocher can suffer quite a bit from the slow lands of Bangladeshi hitters here. Rakim Cornwall, a secondary spinner, can be a big threat. Additionally, two left arm spinners Jomel Cornwall and Virasami Permal can also be effective.
The West Indies are a bit ahead elsewhere. Although this is Bangladesh’s first test after the coveted break, the West Indies have played 5 tests in it!
Shakib Al Hasan also returns to Tests after being banned with this series.
However, the equation is finally coming to a halt in terms of terms and windows here. This is what keeps Bangladesh in the lead. Caribbean captain Craig Brathwaite said the day before the game that the ground was dry and the two teams were the same as in the previous series. In that series, the four Bangladeshi spinners, Shakib Al Hasan, Taizul Islam, Mehedi Hasan Miraj and Naeem Hasan together defeated the Caribbeans by 40 wickets. There are those four again. Shakib also returns to Tests after being kicked out of this series.
This time, however, the chances that all four are in the XI are slim. The current leadership of the team is also interested in playing at least two sprinters in home trials. The roulette will be all three, including Shakib.
Shakib’s injury condition will also play a role in the selection of those three. Although he returned to the field after recovering from a groin injury, Shakib is still not 100% fit at bowling. Another left-arm spinner, Taizul, will be Shakib’s partner if he feels uncomfortable even on match morning. One of the two off-spinners must be out. If Shakib is fully fit, Taizul will be out, Naeem and Miraj will play.
There will be curiosity for another place in Bangladesh XI. Who is the partner of Tamim Iqbal’s opening pair? Therefore, Sadman Islam is ahead in possibilities. However, there is the possibility of playing with the right-hander Saif Hasan, as the dominance of the left-handers is more in the higher order.
Whatever the end of the XI, Muminul said, Bangladesh’s only goal is to win.
“It just came to our notice then. We are always on the field to win, this time it will be the same. And the hosts are always the favorites on the home field. This does not mean that I see the West Indies as weak. But we are focusing. more on ourselves. We will do our best. “
The reality is that if Bangladesh plays the best it can at home, the West Indies have little chance of winning!
Bangladesh team in the test series: Tamim Iqbal, Saif Hasan, Muminul Haque (captain), Nazmul Hossain Shant, Mushfiqur Rahim, Liton Kumar Das, Mohammad Mithun, Taizul Islam, Naeem Hasan, Abu Zayed Chowdhury, Ibadat Hossain, Mehedi Hasan Miraj, Taskin Ahmedh, Mustafizan Mahas Miraj, Taskin Ahmedh, Mustafizan Mahas Miraj Ali Chowdhury, Sadman Islam, Shakib Al Hasan.
