For the first in four years, Abdur Razzak attended a post-match press conference while representing the national team. The Tigers’ slow-left arm bowler was on fire today, picking up four wickets.

His comeback has taken the fans to a world of delight. And he, too, is ecstatic about making a comeback like he did today in Dhaka.

‘It is always a great feeling for any player to come back to the national team; it is something that can’t be expressed in words. It feels good.’

On the first day of the Test, a total of 14 wickets were lost. There was something for the bowlers on the pitch, but Razzak doesn’t believe that it is unplayable for the batsmen.

‘I didn’t think that the wicket was unplayable. It was rather sporting. We have seen many wickets having turn like this.’

The slow left-arm spinner expressed his gratitude towards the board for selecting him at a time when there is no dearth of talent in the country.

‘Obviously, I feel that [my comeback will be a point of reference]. I thank the board for selecting me in this situation [with Bangladesh having many talented youngsters]. This proves that chances will be there and it’s never over.

Abdur Razzak was overlooked for the last four years, but he doesn’t believe that his performances are an answer to anybody for not selecting him then. He also believes that this Test will have an outcome.

‘Whenever I have got a chance to play, I tried to do well, but I don’t get too downbeat when I don’t play well. I try to find the problems [in my bowling], so it is not about giving an answer to anyone.

‘The situation [of the game now] makes me feel like the Test could be over before the 5^th day. We will definitely have a result [in this Test].

When asked about the environment of the dressing room and his feeling before bowling his first ball of the match, he said: ‘Everyone is serious here, so there isn’t much change [from four years ago].
