Bangladesh red-ball skipper Shakib al Hasan praised and credited fast-bowler Taskin Ahmed for a turnover in the side's pace attack.
Shakib believes that the right-handed pacer has become a role model for the rest of the bowlers and appreciated Taskin for improving the pace unit.
"Taskin deserves to be praised. In the last two or three years, Taskin has shown how a pace bowler can actually grow or move forward and improve his skills. I think many people follow him. That's a big reason why our pace bowlers are doing so well," said Shakib
"Pacers have been bowling well for the last many days and they are trying to put a lot of effort. That’s what is most needed. They believe that they can bring a change. They have this belief and I think they will try. They plan a lot. They are trying to do something together, which is why they are actually being so successful,” added Shakib.
Shakib backed ex-captain Mominul Haque, who has been in dismal form. He stated that he is more than welcome to take some time away from cricket to get himself back on track.
"It is tough for me to say, but I speak to him [Mominul] regularly and we will talk again. If he thinks he needs a break, it can happen. It is not ideal to take a decision just after a match. We have a break for two days. On our next day of training in St Lucia, we will think about what's best for the team," he added.
