Bangladesh’s fast bowler Rubel Hossain took a swipe at critics saying that pacers always wants to play more Test matches, ending wide spread rumors of their reluctance to play.
“I always hear this thing that I and some other pacers are reluctant to play Test cricket, which hurts me very much,” Rubel was quoted in BSS.

“I never said that I find Test cricket less interesting rather I always work hard to make me available in Test cricket. Not only me, I found every pacers serious about Test cricket because we all believe that Test cricket is the ultimate cricket and how good you are as a bowler, will be judged by your Test performance,” he added.
The pace bowler from Bagerhat played only a few numbers of Test matches in his career and said that he is very disappointed with his performance in Test cricket,
‘’I admit that my Test bowling is not up to the mark. But I tried my level best and sometimes I bowled well but luck was not with me as I didn’t get wickets. Since I didn’t get enough wickets, my Test average looked so bad,’’ said Rubel.
‘’But that doesn’t mean I don’t have any interest in Test cricket. I am still trying to make myself available for the Test cricket despite knowing that the competition is huge now. But one thing I can say that I won’t give up,” he said.
