Bangladesh off-spinning all-rounder Mahedi Hasan on Friday said he is enthusiastic to play in all three formats of cricket.

Mahedi has been outstanding in the short-ball format, but he has had limited opportunity to play in the format. He has yet to make his Test debut.

“I am always ready (to play in ODIs). Not just ODIs, but all three formats of cricket. If the opportunity arises, I will try to perform well,” Mahedi told Cricfrenzy.

Mahedi last played a T20 match against Afghanistan in March. The all-rounder did not get a chance to play international matches after that series.

"I only play T20. The last time I played T20 was against Afghanistan, there was a break of three-four months. So it's really hard for me to adapt. But I am mentally preparing for it,”

The white ball segment of the series against West Indies begins with T20Is and the first two T20Is will be played in Dominica on 2 and 3 July respectively while the third will be played in Guyana on 7 July.

Three ODIs are also scheduled in Guyana on 10, 13, and 16 July.
