Zimbabwean skipper Hamilton Masakadza believe that the inclusion of some senior cricketers will help them to give a good run for their money when they take on Bangladesh in three-match ODI series.
The three match ODI series begins at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium from October 21 while the next two matches will be played at Chittagong respectively on October 24 and 26.
“The coaching staff has changed but not much has changed within the players group itself. All the guys are available this time around. It is a big advantage for the team to have everyone around,’’ said Masakadza.
“Having everyone around is a big plus for the team. Apart from Graeme [Cremer] who is still injured, we have everyone around which is a positive for the team.
The right-handed batsman said that they are well aware that spin will be their major threat and added that they have mentally prepared them to take up the challenge.
“It is obviously one of the things you focus on when you play in the sub-continent. Spin plays a very big role. We have prepared for it. It is in the back of our minds,’’ said Masakadza.
“I have actually played against [Mehidy] quite a few times. We have also watched a lot of him. We definitely know what to expect from him.
“The main thing is to stay positive and back ourselves. We also have to deal with the challenge of spin. We can go forward from there,’’ he added.
