This bowler can become a problem for India, will return after recovering from injury


Shakib Al Hasan IND vs BAN: Despite Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan bowling only 12 overs in the second innings of the first Test against India due to shoulder and rib injuries and no overs in the second innings, bowling coach Allan Donald says the left-arm spin all-rounder will be more effective in the second innings. Will be present to bowl in the Test.

Donald said in the pre-match press conference, “Shakib is fine, he will bowl. He suffered an injury in the ODI here but he has recovered from it. He is available for selection and ready to bowl.”

Donald said that Taskin Ahmed has been included in the playing XI in place of the injured Ibadat Hussain. There will be the same three spinners and Taskin will also play. He said, “The good news is that Shakib is ready to bowl. Looking at the pitch, I think he will find the rhythm. The build-up in the last Test was important for him. He is looking forward to the match.”

Donald commented that Bangladesh could not allow India to win easily, something which happened in their 188-run defeat in Chittagong. On the opening day of the First Test, India were 48/3 in the first innings, but managed to post 404 and bowled out the hosts for 150, which laid the groundwork for their victory.

He said, “You got an opportunity to capitalize. You win the toss, hopefully bat first, make 350 or 380. I am guessing what the first innings score might be worth. The pitch is very dry so you The first innings has to be capitalised.”

He further added, “This is the only chance you have to set up a Test match in the first innings. If we bowl, we have also shown that when we reduced India to 48 for three in the first innings. Missed some tough chances but we can’t leave that behind. Then you need to do better.”

Donald pointed out that the way Bangladesh batted in the second innings, where opener Zakir Hasan scored a century and Shakib made 84, should be the way forward for the hosts. He said, “We want to win. It doesn’t matter where you play India, you put it in the highest order of your achievements. We know that the minimum score of 150 did not lower our morale. Talked about the values ​​of our partnership. We need it. Be more resilient, which we showed in the second innings. We are desperate to win.”
