Bangladesh Test and Twenty20 skipper Shakib al Hasan said on Wednesday that they are too concerned about media and people when it comes to evaluating their performance.

 The announcement was made during the press conference ahead of the one-off Test match against Afghanistan when one journalist asked him whether losing against them plays a big part in their mind as any accident might not be taken lightly by the mass people considering the strength of both teams while a win does not guarantee them high-scale appreciation.

‘’I think we are not appreciated is a wrong because we [cricketers] know how important this match is and how hard we have to prepare to win a game,’’ Shakib told reporters ahead of their opening game

‘’ We appreciate each other. It does not matter anything how people or you[ media] appreciate us,’’ he said

The hosts will take on the newest member in Test cricket in the one-off Test series at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Thursday in maiden Test match between the two sides.
