Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain also had to answer questions about Shakib after returning home with the Test series winning trophy yesterday.
All the cricketers have said that they are with Shakib. It should also be taken up with the Chief Adviser when the opportunity arises.
Nazmul told reporters at the airport, “Saqib Bhai’s case is different. But every player is with Shakib bhai. Everyone knows how dedicated Shakib bhai is to the game and how crazy he is about the game. Always thinking for the team. When we meet (with the chief advisor), if it comes up, I will say that every player is with Shakib bhai.’
Bangladesh moved up to fourth in the World Test Championship points table after winning the series 2-0 in Pakistan. Bangladesh, who could not win more than one match in the previous two Test Championship cycles, have already won three matches this time.
Almost all of the series-winning heroes have made big jumps in the ICC Test rankings as well. But before going to Pakistan, the Bangladesh team has gone through a lot of difficult times in the country. During the anti-discrimination student movement, due to the deterioration of the law and order situation in the country, the field practice of the team was stopped for a few days.
Nazmul also thinks that he has been able to adapt well to the conditions there as he was able to go to Pakistan a few days before the scheduled time,
‘This series has gone very well. The way we prepared, before going to the tour and after going there… thinking about everyone’s mentality, skill and ability in the team, overall there was a very good preparation and everyone wanted us to win. We went to Pakistan three days ago. It has given us an added advantage.
