Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo said on Friday that if they want to be a force in Test cricket he needs to talk with the selectors and high-ups of BCB so that they can plan how to improve the standard of fast bowlers.

Opener Mayank Agarwal struck a double century helped India dominate against a below-par Bangladesh at Indore Test on Friday as they end the second day of the first Test at Holkar Stadium on 493-6, stretching the lead to an imposing 343 runs.
 
Agarwal made 243 that guided India in a driving seat as they are staring victory inside three day considering the way host batted in the first inning of the Test match.
’Bangladesh’s Test record isn’t good. They have won 13 Test wins in 115 matches. It has been happening for a long time. If we want to become a serious Test team, we need to make structural changes in the team to ensure performance at home and away. I need to discuss these things with the selectors and captain, and plan a way forward,’’ he said.

“To win Tests, you need a bowling unit. For Bangladesh to do well in away Tests, you need up to six bowlers. India, Australia, England and South Africa have done well because they can pick a group of five or six fast bowlers under any conditions, home and away,’’ said Domingo.
 
“Bangladesh’s strength is obviously been spin bowling at home but it is something that we need to develop in our game. We need to provide opportunities for fast bowlers with pitches where they can become a factor in the game, and bowl 18-20 overs a day. I think the wickets in Bangladesh at the moment don’t allow them to do this. They bowl six or seven overs in a four-day game,’’ he added.
