Bangladesh Test skipper Mominul Haque said that it is too early to make comment on off-spinner Nayeem Hasan who repaid the faith of the team management by displaying brilliant brand of spin bowling.
The selectors preferred the 19-year-old after an outstanding bowling performance in the domestic circuit, which included 21 wickets in two matches.
For the last three years, Bangladesh's off-spin department has been largely dominated by Mehidy Hasan, who went on to feature in every single Test Bangladesh played at home since his debut against England in 2016, playing 11 successive Tests in his backyard. But the management going for Nayeem over Mehidy seems to have paid off.
‘’Nayeem (Nayeem Hasan) just started his career so I don’t want to talk about it so much. Mashallah I think be bowled very well. But he needs more improvement as his career just starts,’
‘’ Nayeem is a good bowler but don’t think of Miraz is now bowling bad. Nayeem just got an opportunity that’s all I think,’’ he said adding that though Zimbabwean attack is relatively new they will grow in time.
‘’You all know the difference between bowlers from Pakistan, India and Zimbabwe. They have difference in skill and in planning which I don’t see disrespectfully. They also bowled well. But they didn’t have experienced bowler, because their two pace bowler were injured. The bowler they had played few test but when they will have experience they will become good bowler,’’ he concluded.
