Khaled Mahmud, Bangladesh group chief, has supported Shakib Al Hasan to lead the Test crew neglecting a wide range of questions with respect to his adoration for the more drawn out configuration of the game.
Shakib is the leader in the race for the following Test commander after the post went empty as Mominul Haque chose to venture down following his lean fix with the bat to focus on his game.
Mahmud likewise eliminated any confusion about Shakib's goal, taking everything into account asserting that he is appreciating playing the more drawn out organization and needs to go on with it. The declaration came on Wednesday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium hours after Cricbuzz announced that BCB president Nazmul Hasan has glaring misgivings about re-delegating Shakib considering they are don't know about his accessibility.
Since Shakib uncovered that he was uncertain of proceeding to play every one of the three arrangements, his Test future has gone under examination and it was discovered that that the pro all-rounder implied to some BCB high-ups that he is enthusiastic about singling out lengthy organization tasks.
In any case, it's been scholarly since he has adjusted his perspective as of late and needs to play across designs in the wake of consenting to make him accessible following a gathering with the board. The BCB figured out how to alter his perspective and send him to South Africa after he had at first declined to visit.
Since the South African visit in 2017-18, Shakib has highlighted in just 10 of the 31 Tests Bangladesh have played. He missed the last South Africa series refering to individual reasons. Last year he missed the series against Sri Lanka because of IPL responsibilities and generally as of late passed on of the visit through New Zealand.
However Shakib went to South Africa, he didn't play the Test series because of family crisis as he got back in the wake of playing the three-match ODI series and just get back in the saddle in Test cricket with the equitable finished up series against Sri Lanka.
''I don't have any idea why everybody says that he isn't keen on playing Test cricket on the grounds that at whatever point we talk he is extremely quick to play Tests,'' Mahmud told journalists at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Tuesday.
''He generally say that he appreciates Test cricket more than any configuration and if he has any desire to play and need to give something I figure it could bring a few changes,'' he said adding that he demonstrated his affection for the more drawn out design game during the home series against Sri Lanka, where he joined the group without a second to spare subsequent to getting crown freedom.
''I think he demonstrated it( his adoration for Test cricket) during the series against Sri Lanka as I don't recall when did he last bowl for such countless overs. We were worried that Shakib probably won't bowl for some overs however he showed what him can do. There were loads of talks in regards to his wellness however I feel with the ball he is dependably perfect and however he could do nothing large with the bat, I feel assuming he gets the obligation he will be quick to perform. He needs to play cricket for one more a few years and he ought to take the group up,'' he said.
Mahmud said that the new Test chief ought to be given the obligation regarding something like two years and assuming Shakib chooses to take up the gig it will positively help the group.
''I think whoever chooses to lead he ought to be given (captaincy) for a very long time since giving opportunity to the skipper is vital. I think normally it (in the event that Shakib takes over for a long time as Test skipper) will assist us with creating in Tests. Unquestionably injury and wellness matters however Shakib is an extremely experienced cricketer. I think he appreciates Test matches,'' he said.
''He is truly educated and even yesterday we talked about various things with respect to the forthcoming Test series against West Indies. On the off chance that he gets the captaincy it will be exceptionally useful for the group."
Mahmud said it would be too soon for Litton Das to assume control over the captaincy while adding that Mominul's choice ought to be regarded. "I believe it's too soon for him (Litton) as he is a very loner sort of a person. I would favor an outgoing person sort of a person. Normally you need execution in the field and yet you need to deal with the changing area and foster the group culture and in this space chief play a major part,'' said Mahmud.
''I figure we ought to regard Mominul's choice as he needed to get let out of tension. We want to believe that we will track down the old Mominul in the West Indies series,'' he said.
BCB will step through a choice on Exam skipper alongside numerous different things in the executive gathering on Wednesday.
