Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto has shared his thoughts on their historic Test series win in Pakistan. Shanto said that belief was the most important thing behind their success and it has given them confidence before more upcoming overseas assignments as well. The Tigers were in tricky positions in both Tests against Pakistan in Rawalpindi but they turned the tables on the home side methodically as well.
Mushfiqur Rahim, Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan, Nahid Rana, and others stood up at various points to lead their side to a 2-0 sweep as well.

Speaking to ESPN Cricinfo, he said: “One word: belief”

“It feels great when you are winning. It is important to enjoy these moments. I think such a moment has never come in Bangladesh team’s history. Cricketers look for references. Now we have one. We know that we have the ability to win abroad,” he further added.

Bangladesh will play against India in a two-match Test series and this recent win will give them a huge boost as well.

“The next time we play, I don’t know about the result, but we will surely have the belief that we can win. I said the same thing in the press conference on the first day [when asked about Bangladesh’s dismal record in Pakistan] that records are meant to be broken. It was from my belief after seeing how hard the players worked. The way they showed hunger for the team, it gave me the belief. Results can vary in these situations. If we can stick to this process, work hard, we can do even better,” Najmul Hossain concluded.
