Bangladesh Cricket Board director (BCB) and former coach Khaled Mahmud Sujon have predicated that Bangladesh will find it very difficult to play five days in Eden Test, let alone thinking of winning it.

Sujon has been with and around the national team for a long time. The former skipper also served the team as coach and manager and held various roles  in  BCB.

Bangladesh has lost badly to India in the first Test and has been playing not so good cricket of late and that led the former player to believe Bangladesh are not capable to stretching the Eden Test to fifth day.

 ‘’It is very difficult for us to take the Test match to fifth day in Eden garden as there is a lot of grass at that wicket. We should play one more seamer in the second Test. India will be firm favorite and so it will be difficult for us to play five days of the Test,” Sujon said before the BPL players’ draft.

Sujon also agree with the suggested structural change of the country’s cricket in longer version format, a thing that also got a nod from Test skipper Mominul Haque.

 ‘’ Obviously its time to concentrate on Test cricket as we are not playing good Test cricket for some time now. We play the other two format reasonably well. We play 50 over format very well and we are improving in T20 cricket but we are not good enough in Test cricket so it is high time to bring up structural change to the country’s longer version format,” he added.

 ‘’Now it is time to change our test cricket structure. We have to change our domestic cricket structure and wickets too. We are not playing well on the sub-continent. When we go to other countries it will be very tough for us,” he concluded.
