    What's the story

    Chandika Hathurusingha, the head coach of Bangladesh's cricket team, has expressed his optimism ahead of their upcoming series against India.

    He believes that their recent Test series victory over Pakistan will serve as a confidence booster for the team.

    Hathurusingha stated, "It (the win in Pakistan) certainly gives us a lot of confidence coming into this series," emphasizing not just the result but also how his team performed under pressure.

    Team strength

    Hathurusingha praises team's versatility and depth

    Hathurusingha praised the versatility and depth of his team, highlighting their fast bowlers and experienced spin attack.

    He also lauded the batting lineup, attributing its strength to two spinners with Test centuries and two wicketkeepers who are key batters.

    The coach expressed confidence in his team's propensity to compete in the upcoming series against India, stating that they are "really encouraged by playing the best team in the world."

    Player spotlight

    Hathurusingha hails Nahid Rana's bowling skills

    Hathurusingha singled out fast bowler Nahid Rana for special praise, noting his ability to bowl at speeds over 145 kph consistently.

    He emphasized that Rana's speed brings a fear factor into play, challenging the opposition's reaction and decision-making skills.

    Despite acknowledging that Rana has played limited cricket so far, Hathurusingha expressed confidence in his potential to make a significant impact in the upcoming series.

    Veteran's return

    Confidence in Shakib Al Hasan

    Hathurusingha also has confidence in veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan's ability to fare well in India.

    Despite a recent dip in form, Shakib demonstrated his skills by taking nine wickets in County Championship game.

    "He (Shakib) is in good shape so he brings a lot into the team, even apart from his skillset," Hathurusingha stated, highlighting Shakib's significant role whenever he is available for selection.
