After a series loss, questions are being asked about how Bangladesh approach Test cricket as a whole. Shakib said that culturally, Test cricket is not valued in Bangladesh and there needs to be a discussion surrounding it.

‘We were not as tough as we could have been’, was the remark made by skipper Shakib Al Hasan when asked on the team’s game awareness during the Windies Tests.

The Tigers were already six down when play started in the afternoon at 3 pm and then Nurul Hasan Sohan lit up the day’s play with an incredible 60 not out. While the majority of the Tigers’ top-order had lacked so much in terms of application, Sohan showed how things were supposed to be done in West Indies and he did it under more precarious circumstances than his teammates.

Paceman Khaled Ahmed bagged a fifer for the first time in his career during the first innings against West Indies in the second Test at St Lucia yesterday. For Khaled, bagging the wicket of centurion Kyle Mayers on day three was special given that his plan had worked.
