Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah said on Thursday that he is impressed with the new-look pace bowling unit as he believes they have the ambition to reach a pinnacle of success.

Though the new look pace unit failed comprised with Ebadat Hossain, Khaled Ahmed and Abu Jayed did not show anything impressive with the ball picking up a single wicket from their 87 overs in the first innings that saw host put up a massive 715-6, according to Mahmudullah it is too early to write them off.

“The pace bowling attack is very pretty inexperienced and it will hard for them if I expect a lot from them straight away. Certainly, they are good bowlers but we need to give them time as they groom they are going to be better for Bangladesh and they will perform better,’’ Mahmudullah told reporters ahead of the second Test at Wellington on Thursday.

“They have that ambition and that was pleasing for me. I think they were pretty aggressive and they bowled a lot of overs, they tried several things like bowling short balls and away from the batsmen or the length balls but they needed to be more consistent as that would have been better,’’ he said.

Bangladesh can draw inspiration from the fact that pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman is all set to return for them in Wellington Test and though team management is yet to decide about whom they will drop.
