Bangladesh skipper Mominul Haque said on Thursday that he don’t feel Tamim Iqbal will find it difficult to cope with Test cricket despite returning after a gap of nearly one year.

Tamim returned to the Test side after nearly a year, playing his last Test against New Zealand in Wellington on March 2019 but Mominul added that he will be looking forward on experienced Tamim to bring back the confidence in their top-order.

Tamim will be loaded with confidence after his record breaking triple hundred in the Bangladesh Cricket League that he played as part of preparation for the opening Test against Pakistan.

‘’Tamim bhai is a world-class player so I don’t think it will be difficult for him to adapt after coming from a gap. He played a good inning in BCL and we are confident he will get accustomed with it,’’ said Mominul adding that Mushfiqur Rahim’s absence, who opted not to travel to Pakistan due to security reason, will be hard to fill. 

‘’When you don’t have one of the best players you have sometimes it is difficult on the other hand you can say that it’s a good opportunity for new players and we are looking forward toward it[ new players grabbing the opportunity].
