At a location that has proven difficult for the hitters, the team captained by Najmul Hossain Shanto will be hoping to perform at their peak in the forthcoming game. The first Test match of Bangladesh’s tour of Sri Lanka is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, June 17 at Galle International Stadium.
As the matches have gone on, Galle’s batting averages have been declining as spinners have surpassed hitters. Shanto, who has a strong record against the Island nation and who scored his highest individual score in red-ball cricket against the same team in Pallekele in 2021, will be the centre of attention. Shanto has also expressed his excitement for the trials that he and the “Tigers” will encounter in Galle.
“I want to take advantage of the opportunity in Galle, but I have some pleasant recollections in Kandy. It can be difficult to play spin, but the first two or three days in Galle are also plenty of runs. According to ESPNcricinfo, Najmul Hossain stated, “We want to take that opportunity.”
Because spinners take a lot of wickets at this location, hitters will face difficulties. We must bat effectively. Despite all the difficulties, we are enjoying one other’s company,” the Bangladesh captain continued.
Najmul Hossain on the availability of Mehidy Hasan Miraz
The fact that Mehidy Hasan Miraz, one of Bangladesh’s important spin-bowling all-rounders, is unlikely to be included in the starting lineup for the forthcoming difficult match at Galle presents another obstacle for the team. Mehidy is said to have a high temperature. Shanto has provided an update on his availability and outlined the importance of his contribution to the club.
Mehidy’s health is getting better, but he is still being watched. His availability determines a lot of things. We may enter the test with a strong combination if he is on the team. I don’t want to give away my batting position for the Test match. I don’t want my rival to find out. A couple things are still up in the air. Najmul Hossain stated, “Miraz is still not completely well.”
