Bangladesh cricketer Imrul Kayes lauded all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz for an outstanding performance against Afghanistan and believes he has the potential to become the next Shakib al Hasan.

During a live session with Cricfrenzy, opening batter Imrul praised Miraz for his contribution to the team.
“I have been following Miraz's batting, and he has excelled in every position, whether it be at number seven, three, or opening. Players like Miraz are really valuable to the team and they can stand out for the side in any circumstances,” said Imrul.
During the match, Imrul posted a status stating that Miraz has the potential to be the next Shakib due to his all-round abilities. He emphasized why Miraz holds the ability to be compared with the all-time greatest all-rounder.

“I highly rate Miraz because of his unwavering confidence that sets him apart from others. He can easily change the game. I believe he will serve as a great role model for future generations. I once told him that you have to carry the team forward and you will captain the Bangladesh team,”
“Miraz is a complete package. He’s absolutely a talent and God-gifted. As you can see Shakib he has the ability to do well in every department. Obviously its a huge achievement for us,”
Imrul urged the team to focus on maintaining quality and standards, and to not worry about opponents but rather look forward.
“The entire nation expects Bangladesh to reach the final and win the trophy. We should play with the same dominance we displayed against Afghanistan.”
“I always said we do not need to worry about opponents like Afghanistan. I believe we can defeat Afghans any time and we have a standard and we have to maintain it,” he added.
