Zakir Hasan, the first Test player for Bangladesh, has discussed the team’s obstacles ahead of the next series against India and Pakistan. After playing two Tests against India in September, Bangladesh will play an equal number of Tests against Pakistan. They have only won one of their four Test matches this year, demonstrating a dismal showing.
Throughout their most recent games under the longest format, the Tigers’ batting repeatedly collapsed. For a score of less than 200, they were eliminated four times. Hasan emphasised that Pakistan has a variety of bowlers of the highest calibre, thus winning against them will be difficult.
“If you look at Pakistan’s bowlers, you can see that they are world-class players who have always been very good. It will be difficult and demanding to deal with their fast bowlers if you play a Test match against them or in any other format. Hasan, cited by, stated, “At the same time, we are also working on that and have worked on that in the camps and have also seen the video analysis.”
We have so made an effort to make the necessary preparations. Let’s check it out now. There’s an A team match going on. I never played a Test there, but I did play a one-day match in the newly formed Asia Cup. I’m hoping to gain a better understanding of the wicket if I get to play a Test there,” he continued.
The Pakistani team is in turmoil.
Speaking of Pakistan, the team and the board are navigating tricky waters because of criticism from supporters and former cricket players. After their poor performance at the ICC events, criticism is coming in all directions. The team’s elimination from the T20 World Cup 2024 in the group stages has made matters worse. Wasim Akram, a former cricket player for Pakistan, had pushed for a team makeover and the addition of fresh players.

“It’s time to stop. Changes are urgently needed. To help them grow as a team, bring in a new squad of six or seven players and support them through setbacks. The PCB chairman needs to make a risky move now. We frequently hear [from the squad] that one player isn’t speaking with the other, or the other player isn’t speaking with him. This was the easiest New York pitch to date, and it was excellent. How difficult was the 120-mile run? “I don’t think Pakistan should be in the Super 8s after this performance,” Akram stated in a video that was uploaded to his Twitter account.
