Nazmul Hossain Shanto won Bangladesh against New Zealand on his Test captaincy debut. Tiger head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe is impressed by his field captaincy and team management. Hathuru made positive comments about Shanta’s future in a press conference ahead of the second Test of the series against the Kiwis in Mirpur.
One is leadership and another is captaincy. But two different things. First let’s talk about the team management, it’s amazing and the captaincy on the field is also amazing. Unorthodox can make decisions and implement them. He has the ability to be not only a caretaker but also a regular captain. Maybe a long race horse.’
Shanto led Bangladesh in two matches in the ODI World Cup when Shakib Al Hasan was injured. As Liton Das was not interested, he was given responsibility in Tests as well. Shanto will also lead the ODI and T20 teams in the tour of New Zealand this month.
After the start of his international career, Shanto was criticized a lot for going through some bad times. The cricketer who was continuously trolled for not getting runs is now one of Bangladesh’s batting hopes.
Calm ahead of others in terms of future leadership. After Shakib-Tamim left the game, Bangladesh got a person who can take the lead of the team.
Bangladesh’s match against New Zealand will start at 9:30 am on Wednesday. The hosts, who won the Sylhet Test by 150 runs, now have their eyes set on winning the series.
