Bangladesh have the ability to come in the top six in Tests: Mushfiqur Rahim

Mushfiqur Rahim said Bangladesh have beaten some big teams in the past and it gives them the confidence to achieve the top six spot. He also added, it will help their players achieve the top 10 rankings.

“Our concern is to do well outside the country. There are many big challenges ahead. The Test Championship is also a big challenge for us. We have the ability to come in the top six in Tests. If there’s no coronavirus, then there would be some important series at home. We had a Test series against New Zealand or Australia.

“There is also the West Indies. Every team is big, we have beaten two teams in the past. If we can stay in the top-6, then we can see some players in the top ten in the player rankings,” he was quoted as saying by bdcrictime.

Bangladesh are ninth in the World Test Championship points table. They are still to get offf the mark with no wins from their last three matches.
