The approach that the Tigers are playing in T20, should have been played like this earlier. Former captain and BCB director Akram Khan think so. However, playing in the same way, Bangladesh is desperate to make a bad name in Tests as well. Despite winning the Test against Ireland, Akram Khan is not 100% satisfied. Despite winning the Dhaka Test against Ireland, there is no room for complacency. The team that came to play the fourth Test in their history put Bangladesh under pressure. On the third day of the Dhaka Test, the bad memory of the loss to Afghanistan came up again and again. The Tigers’ lackluster statistics in white also raised fears of a loss against the Irish. Bangladesh won the test after a long time after overcoming that apprehension. BCB doesn’t want to downplay that success.

BCB director Akram Khan said, ‘Ireland is a very good team. They beat Pakistan, they beat England. Coming to our country, they could not perform well because there was some deficiency in their plan. But I think they have quality players. We may have won, but they played well too. And our team also lacked some things, if we can develop them forward, we will do better.’Impressed with the recent approach of the ODI and T20 teams, the board expects something similar in Tests. Akram Khan said, ‘We lacked the mentality we should play within T20. The first six overs we played against Ireland this time should have been played two years ago. But we have improved a lot everywhere. I think, if our attitude is like this, then we can get out of the bad feeling we have in Tests and T20s.’The Tigers simply blew away Ireland in colorful clothes. However, away matches are always a struggle. The away series against the Irish will be in England next month. Now policymakers are looking at that series. Shakib-Liton did not get permission to go to IPL during Test. However, even if they were not there, the performance would not have been bad, according to the former captain.
