Bangladesh uncapped bowling all-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin is eyeing to cement his place in the longer format.

The inclusion of Saifuddin in the 27-member preliminary squad ahead of the upcoming three-match Test series is a major indication that team management is looking for a bowling all-rounder as a third seam bowler.

Since the departure of Mashrafee bin Mortaza no one could grab that position in the longer format and Saifuddin have all the ingredient to become a successful replacement of Mashrafee.

The boy from Feni is excited with the prospect adding that now he is looking forward to make the most out of the opportunity.

‘’Every player have a dream to play Test cricket and I am not the exceptional and I will try to do something good,’’ Saifuddin said on Wednesday.

I am focusing to develop my skill and get me fit because I am little bit worried about my skills.Last six or seven months I could not do batting and bowling in that way,’’ he said.

l like how to dominate in international cricket and there is some time if I go to Sri Lanka I will try to do my best,’’ he said adding that he had some hard time during his injury phase.

‘’I have always thought about injury and I have a major injury of back pain. I was out of cricket about six-seven months, then came back fit and and after playing a couple of match then again went out of cricket for corona and for which it is difficult to me because I was out of cricket from almost one year,’’ he said.

Saifuddin said that he is excited to return back to SBNS adding that he is too thrilled to be called in the Test squad.
