Shakib the best weapon of Bangladesh: West Indies captain

He will return in his familiar style! will glorify the cricket world again with his fragrance! He is none other than Bangladesh Cricket’s brand, poster boy, country’s best star Shakib Al Hasan.

Shakib has returned to the competitive cricket after overcoming the ban on all forms of cricket. The long waiting of returning to international cricket is also about to go. He will be seen in the red-green jersey for the ODI against the West Indies on January 20.

After a long time Shakib is returning at 22 yards. He will have an intense appetite to make a storm with bat and ball. He has also the power to destroy the opponent alone. That’s why West Indies Test captain Kraigg Brathwaite is very careful about Shakib. “Shakib is one of the best weapons in Bangladesh,” he said without any hesitation.

Shakib, who scored 3862 runs and taken 210 wickets in 56 Tests, has scored 745 runs and taken 56 wickets in 10 matches against the West Indies. The left-arm all-rounder has also suffered in the last two Tests on home soil. He took 9 wickets and scored 116 runs in two Tests. He also won the series best award. That’s why the visitors are very careful about him.

Besides, the West Indies Test captain is respecting the Bangladesh team. Brathwaite said, “Rahim (Mushfiqur) is a very good player. Mahmudullah is also in their team. There are experienced players. Besides, Bangladesh will play on their soil. There are good spinners and capable batsmen. But if you can implement your plans and believe in yourself, you will succeed.”

In 2018, the Caribbeans bowed down in front of Tigers’ spinners. This time Bangladesh will try to stop the visitors by adopting the same plan. Brathwaite said, “The spinners did quite well last time. We have come to observe them well this time. I hope we will do well. We have to be consistent in our plans, we have to use them in the field. We also have to believe in our own preparation. In international cricket, you will always face challenges.”
