Tigers return to Dhaka

After a satisfying draw in the first Test at Khulna, the Tigers returned to Dhaka yesterday morning. The tour has now entered its last leg with the second and final Test set to begin on Wednesday in Mirpur and the hosts will hope they can maintain their clean sheet by preventing a defeat in Mirpur as well.

The way Mushfiqur Rahim's men fought back after allowing the visitors to take a sizeable lead in the first innings was commended from various quarters. However, with the second Test due to begin in two days time, there is barely any time for the Tigers to get comfortable.

Chief selector Faruque Ahmed however, following the great show from the Tigers in the first Test, is confident that Bangladesh can continue their good form.

“I think the best part about this team is that they are all young. Almost none of them have hit the 30-year mark and they are all doing well. They will only further improve with time,” said Faruque.
