BSS, Dhaka :Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim admitted that said they failed to execute the plans resulted the defeat to Pakistan in the second Test.”It was disappointing. We bowled some no balls and we were also one bowler down. Nothing went right for us in the first day. Pakistan are ranked No.3 in Tests and they came back hard. We did not plan well and execute well and that is why we lost the game. We have been playing consistently and we will have to learn quickly,” he said after the match.The captain said, “Tamim had a great series with Imrul. Mominul as always gets 50-plus runs. The bowlers will have to be aggressive and keep us in the game for five days. If you want to win and if you want to compete in Tests, you will have to take 20 wickets. We will look to do that against India.”On the other hand, winning captain of Pakistan Misbah-ul-Haq said, “It’s a much-needed win for us. The team showed great character. After losing the toss, the first session was important for us. The way Younis Khan and Azhar Ali batted was the base for our victory. There was more bounce here than Khulna, our bowlers enjoyed bowling on this wicket. Yasir Shah bowled really well.”Azhar Ali, who was named the man of the match and man of the series, said “It’s a very good combined effort from the team. We all played really well. The coach and management has backed our abilities and we got the result. Getting centuries is satisfactory. We look to Younis Khan and senior players and look to score big. In the past few months, we have been doing well in Tests. We did well against Australia. All credit should go to the team.”
