Dashing opener Tamim Iqbal said, ” Shakib Al Hasan has to get time if Bangladesh team earn success in Test Cricket.”
After Mominul Haque resigned from the post of Captain of Bangladesh Test Cricket team, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has appointed ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan as the Captain of Bangladesh Test Cricket team. As Bangladesh Cricket team have not so much success in this format of cricket, so, if BCB wants to get success in this format, Shakib has to get time to earn success. Opener and experienced batter Tamim Iqbal thinks so.
Shakib Al Hasan has been named Captain of Bangladesh Test Cricket for third time.
Earlier, Bangladesh played 14 Test matches under captaincy of Shakib Al Hasan. Bangladesh won three Test matches, while lost to their opponents in 11 Test matches.
On the other hand, Bangladesh played 17 Test matches under captaincy of Mominul Haque. Bangladesh won three Test matches, while lost to their opponents in 11 occasions and drew two Test matches.
Tamim said, ” I played two times under captaincy of Shakib Al Hasan. Actually the captaincy is not like rocket science. We all know that he is a meritorious cricketer. But to lead a Test team is not an easy task. Test Cricket is such a format, where we have got few success. When I get captaincy of Bangladesh ODI Cricket team, I told to the BCB officials to give me enough time. I also think Shakib nhas to get enough time to get success.”
Tamim believes that Bangladesh team are not good side in Test format. “If he appropriately lead the team and we can give him a good support by performing well, we can bring good result.”
