Bangladesh is going to play Test cricket after four months. The Tigers will play the only Test against Ireland on Tuesday (April 4). Taskin is out with an injury. The hosts want to play aggressive cricket in Tests like ODIs and T20s. Meanwhile, with only 3 Tests to play, the Irish are also up for the fight. The match will start at 10 am at Mirpur Stadium. Afghanistan and Ireland have been given Test status by the ICC but have not been included in the World Test Championship. As a result, Ireland’s match against Bangladesh is not part of the Test Championship. But Bangladesh is careful. Bangladesh is entering the field with the best eleven against Ireland, who have only played three Tests in international cricket. All but the injured Taskin and IPL-bound Mustafiz are in the match against Ireland. Meanwhile, Rezaur Rahman Raja got a place on the team instead of Taskin. Despite doubts over Shakib-Litton, it has finally been confirmed that they are playing against Ireland.

Meanwhile, it is questionable how dangerous Ireland is in front of Bangladesh, who have only played three Tests despite getting Test status five years ago. Most of the players in this Irish team have very little first-class experience. Captain Andrew Balbirnie also candidly admitted his inexperience. However, despite not having enough experience, the Irish have strength in mind. The team wants to jump into the Test with the joy of winning the last match of the T20 series. Again the Ireland captain is unfamiliar with the ground in Dhaka. Along with the Bangladeshi cricketers, the European team will also have to face the challenge of the conditions. But the format is a test, so the question remains. As strong as Bangladesh is in ODI cricket, Bangladesh is not as established in Tests. In total, the Tigers have won only 16 matches in 136 matches in their 22-year history. Lost in 102 matches and drew in 18 matches. In the last two Test Championships, Bangladesh was at the very bottom of the table. Despite playing a full series against Ireland, this is the Tigers’ first match in Mirpur. The coach and captain must check the pitch condition before the match. This Mirpur pitch against the Irish has been made pace-dependent. And if it is made for pacers, there is a possibility of playing three pacers in the Tiger team today. Test team of Bangladesh Shakib Al Hasan (Captain), Liton Das, Tamim Iqbal, Sadman Islam, Nazmul Islam Shanto, Muminul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehdi Hasan Miraj, Taijul Islam, Rezaur Rahman Raza, Khaled Ahmed, Ebadat Hossain, Shariful Islam, and Mahmudul Hasan Joy.
