Bangladesh Test skipper Mominul Haque is looking forward to leave his mark as a leader in the longer format as he preparing to for the one-off Test series against Zimbabwe.
The left-handed batsman is keen to establish him in the leadership role and insisted that long-term captaincy would have helped him grow as a leader.
‘’I was nervous in the first series, but now I am enjoying it. I didn't understand it at first but now slowly I understand how it works,’’ said Mominul.
‘’Learning how I should progress and plan and make it work. It's a gradual process, I guess you learn something or the other each and every day. I am taking my time and trying to analyse where I went wrong or you can say how I could have handled that situation differently,’’ he said adding that though he is not worried but it is better if he had a clear understanding of his tenure as a leader,’’ he said adding long term captaincy will help him plan better.
‘’Yes you are right that I am not informed clearly about it [whether I am appointed on long term basis or series by series basis]. As far as long term captaincy is concerned - not only in captaincy but in any work if you are doing with long term contract, then it becomes easy. You can make plans, what players want, when you will use them, team management - everything becomes easy. But it doesn't bother me. I am not thinking too much about it whether I am given series by series or long term basis. And you have to face these challenges in Bangladesh as it is a very usual practice here and you learn to take it automatically,’’ he said adding that until he can have success there is no point talking about his skill as a captain.
‘’If the team does not win or perform and you don't get the desired result then it's difficult to understand the quality of the captain,’’ said Mominul.
‘’Yes I do have a very good understanding with Domingo and we have almost the same mentality though it [our chemistry] won't matter until we can come up with good performance,’’ he said
