Bangladesh Cricket has been in the spotlight for various reasons in the last month or so. First it was the changes in the BCB following the political turmoil in the country, and now because of the exceptional performances put in by the team during PAK vs BAN Test series, where the latter won 2-0.
Now, with the India tour in sight, BCB director Nazmul Abedin feels that the hosts will look at Bangladesh a little differently. “India will appreciate Bangladesh more than ever. They will try to play with a little more planning. They (India) may not see Bangladesh the way they used to see before,” Nazmul told Cricbuzz.

But the BCB director also went on to admit, that India is the stronger side, and it may not be easy against them. “I think India are a little stronger compared to Bangladesh. So whether we can play with the mentality we had against Pakistan, whether we can keep that going consistently, will be a challenge for us.
“The pressure we were able to apply against Pakistan it may not be as easy against India. There we have to be more consistent, and show more patience. But self-confidence is very important,” he said.

“If we can hold it (the pressure), we have the ability to do good. Especially the power I saw in our bowling. If we can use it, then we have a good chance. We will dominate more than ever,” he said.
“Of course, they are a good team in any version. It is a little difficult to say about T20Is right now. However, Test cricket is a version that plays a role in improving the game of all formats. I’m sure that confidence will work here too. And as I said, the bowling is getting very good. Bowling power is important for any team and that will surely work in T20,” he added.
