Promising off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz wants to show a respectable performance in the foreign condition.
Miraz, made his debut against England at Chattogram in 2016 and captured six wickets in the first innings.
Miraz hopes that he will be included in the Bangladesh squad for the upcoming three-match Test series against Sri Lanka which will start from the last week of October. A good number of spinners are waiting to get chance in Bangladesh squad.
“Foreign soil has always been challenging for the spinners and it is more challenging specially for me. I think abroad, it is imperative to maintain the line and length,” Miraz said the newsmen on Sunday.
“The more the spinners get the assistance in our country and in the Asian condition, the less they get in countries outside of Asia. I am working on my shortcomings and training hard,” said the off-spinner who took 90 wickets in 22 Tests.
Miraz said spin coach Daniel Vettori, a legendary former left-arm spinner from New Zealand, gave him the suggestion as to how to do well in the foreign condition.
“I have been constantly in touch with Vettori, who has given me special tips to do well in the foreign conditions. I hope when I will meet him in person, I will get some more suggestions from him,” he added.
“I have been trying my best to bring my past aura back. For this, I am talking to the coaches and training hard. I had done really well in the first three years after my debut. But then my performance took a nosedive and before the lockdown, I didn’t do well in the last two or three series. I understood that and tried my best to replicate my past performance,” he opined.
The 22-year old spinner from Khulna initially started individual training at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna. Later he shifted to Dhaka and has been taking part in group-in training at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in the city’s Mirpur.
He however said he is yet to get his full rhythm in bowling and feels some discomfort.
“I am bowling after quite a long time. I bowled almost every batsman here. But I feel some discomfort since I am not bowling well. However today I feel somewhat good. The batsmen who played against me, also played well. But I feel I need to bowl well. Hopefully I will get my rhythm back very soon,” he remarked.
