Shakib said, “It is not right to blame the players too much here. Don’t just blame the players. That’s the system in our country. ‘When do you see 30,000 spectators watching Test matches in Bangladesh or 25,000 people coming to the ground to watch the Test match?’

In every match of the recently concluded England-New Zealand Test series, a full gallery was seen. Citing that example, Shakib said, “In England, there are such spectators in every match (Test). The culture of testing has never existed in our country, it is not yet. ’

Seeing that there is no Test culture now, Shakib is not saying that it will never happen. It is our responsibility to change this. If everyone can plan and move forward, maybe something will be possible. Otherwise, it will not be possible to go very far. Because we don’t have a test culture. ‘

“It’s not that we value Test cricket too much. Yes, maybe we didn’t do well, that’s why there was no evaluation. But one has a relationship with the other. You have to associate one with the other. Only then is something good possible. ’
