Bangladesh stand-in captain Tamim Iqbal said that the Sri Lanka series will be challenging for his side but they are upbeat to overcome the challenge as they are looking to erase the World Cup disappointment with a away series victory.
Tamim however got a team where team’s best player is absent while some other regular players are not playing.
Even though Bangladesh still is dubbed as the favourite against Sri Lanka, they are yet to win any bilateral series in the Lankan’s soil.
Therefore the tour is challenging for Tamim on his captaincy front too, apart from overcoming the personal poor form.
“I think the series is very important us. The team with which we are going to Sri Lanka, it has many things to prove,” he opined.
‘We haven’t got the service of some of our best players. That’s why the series is challenging for us. Sri Lanka is very strong team at its home den.”
Tamim however is taking confidence from the latest matches against Sri Lanka at their own den, specially the Nidahas Trophy T20, in which they beat Lankans to show their strength.
“We have been playing well in Sri Lanka in the recent times. I didn’t find any reason not to do well there this time around,” he said.
