Shanto discusses Shakib's form and his own batting goals ahead of India Tests

Shakib, despite being one of Bangladesh’s most accomplished players, has been struggling with the bat in Test cricket, failing to score a century in the last seven years. His last significant contribution with the bat came in a match against Ireland in April 2022, where he scored 87 runs. Since then, Shakib's performances have been below expectations, especially during recent tours to Sri Lanka and Pakistan, where he failed to make an impact with the bat.

As Bangladesh prepare for the highly anticipated Test series against India, the spotlight is on two key figures—Shakib Al Hasan and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto.

Shakib, despite being one of Bangladesh’s most accomplished players, has been struggling with the bat in Test cricket, failing to score a century in the last seven years. His last significant contribution with the bat came in a match against Ireland in April 2022, where he scored 87 runs. Since then, Shakib's performances have been below expectations, especially during recent tours to Sri Lanka and Pakistan, where he failed to make an impact with the bat.

However, Shakib's bowling form has been impressive. He recently played in England for Surrey in the County Championship, where he took nine wickets in a match against Somerset. Despite his bowling success, Shakib’s lack of runs remains a concern for the team. But captain Shanto remains positive, stating that Shakib’s preparation, especially with the ball, has been solid, and he is hopeful that the all-rounder will deliver in India.

Captain Shanto said, “His preparation has been good, especially with the ball. Although he didn’t score many runs, I believe his preparation is solid. We expect him to perform well in the series.”

Shanto, too, has faced scrutiny over his form with the bat, especially since taking over the captaincy. His Test average as captain sits at 23.27, with only 90 runs scored in the last four matches in this year. Nonetheless, Shanto is confident ahead of the India series, emphasizing that his focus is on helping Bangladesh secure victories and contributing as a batter.

Ahead of the India tour, Shanto said, “My personal goal is for Bangladesh to win, and I will do my best to contribute as a batter. Alhamdulillah, I have prepared well, and now it’s up to Allah. I will give my utmost to contribute to the team.”

The upcoming two-Test series against India, which starts on September 19 in Chennai, offers both Shakib and Shanto an opportunity to bounce back and lead Bangladesh to a historic victory.
