Greatest Bangladesh cricketer of all time and current #1 All-Rounder, Shakib-Al-Hasan had his say on the current Bangladesh team. According to Shakib-Al-Hasan, Bangladesh are improving day by day. He says defeating Bangladesh at home is not an easy task anymore. Furthermore, he stated that it is the mindset which makes them confident that they will win the tests. Shakib said:
“Previously the mindset was to draw against big teams – try to play five days, make a draw. But we never used to get the result. Then we started thinking, ‘Let’s try to win – let’s try to play and win the game.’ It’s the mindset that changed, and that made us believe that we can win.”
