Jannatul Naym Pieal When his bowling performance in the Test cricket was under scanner, Shakib Al Hasan came up with stellar performance against India on the rain-affected day three and became the first-ever Bangladesh bowler to take the 100-Test wickets at the home yard. Along with expressing his relief at the post day press conference, the ace all-rounder also backed leg-spinner Jubair Hossain after the rookie claimed two crucial wickets on Friday to help Bangladesh get a hold of Indian batting monopoly. Shakib termed Jubair as the “next big thing in Bangladesh cricket” while he also expressed his disappointments over the way his fellow teammates was treated in the domestic arena. The Tigers played a huge gamble by including Jubair in the starting lineup despite him not playing any competitive matches at any level in the past two months. Jubair justified his selection, primarily at the instance of coach Chandika Hathurusinghe and captain Mushfiqur Rahim, with the prized wicket of Indian captain Virat Kohli and wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha. He began the day by bowling a maiden to Kohli, but soon a long-hop was duly put away. The next eight deliveries, he kept Kohli interested. A fine cover-drive from Kohli would have stopped any other Bangladeshi spinner tostop looping the ball repeatedly, but Jubair was soon rewarded for his gall. Kohli was a touch early on his shot as a googly spun back at him, hit his boot and rolled on to the stumps. He bowled Saha with a googly, too, this one turning a bit more, beating the batsman's defence. It was a loose shot, but Saha was sucked into it by Jubair's flight. Shakib described the difficulties of mastering the art of leg-spin and urged the concerned people to help nurture the talented youngster so that can deliver goods for the country in the coming years. "It is difficult for Jubair," Shakib said. "I am not sure if he played any match at all after playing the Test series against Zimbabwe. If he doesn't get a chance to play in the Bangladesh Cricket League and the Dhaka Premier League it will be bad for both him and the national team. So I feel that those who are watching and observing these issues, they need to seriously observe these things and find out a way for him to play matches on a regular basis." Shakib believes Jubair has the ability to take 300-400 Test wickets for Bangladesh as he said, “He can be some one who can take 300 to 400 wickets for our country. I believe that. And the way he bowled, I believe that he could have taken more wickets had he bowled in the right areas more often. But because he didn’t play many matches, it became difficult for him. Its always difficult for a leg spinner to bowl in the right areas. The deliveries that fell in the right areas troubled the Indian batsmen and he is turning the ball as well. At the same time his googly is going well. Many batsmen haven’t been able to pick it. He can be a very big asset for Bangladesh’s Test cricket,” he said before urging to have some patience with Jubair. "The fact that he has managed to bowl some of the deliveries in the right areas, I think that in itself is positive," he said. "The deliveries that fell in the right areas troubled the Indian batsmen and he is turning the ball as well. At the same time his googly is going quite well. "Many batsmen haven't been able to pick it. He can be a very big asset for Bangladesh's Test cricket. We have patience but we don't know how patient you are or how patient the people of Bangladesh will be with Jubair." When certain domestic coaches were asked about Jubair's exclusion earlier this year, some of them pointed out that Jubair's accuracy was just thirty percent and that he bowled bad spells in the nets. Shakib, however, criticised their reasoning. "If you see the batting in nets, many will seem like Sachin Tendulkar and many will seem like Rubel Hossain," he said. "So there is a difference. The biggest deal is who performs in the match. You are not giving him a chance. You are only predicting something about him and then making up your mind. Shakib further supported the case for giving Jubair more matches by saying that judging his bowling on the basis of his performance in the nets was not the right process. "The one who thinks like that has a very wrong concept. I think at least he should be given enough chance, yes even after that if he can't do well because I think that we will be playing in this country for most of the time, and we have to take wickets on pitches like this. I think I haven't seen a better bowler than (Jubair Hossain) Likhon till date."
