He said, “The weather is not in our hands. If we get a chance to play cricket here, we will definitely play good cricket.”
However, Bangladesh’s experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim said the weather could play a decisive role.
He said, “I think the weather is a bigger challenge than the wicket.” He said that there may be some moisture on the wicket.
Mushfiqur was unimpressed by the prospect of facing a fully fit Babar.
“If someone and a world-class cricketer like him is in the team, then naturally it will be a boost for them,” he said.
“But when we won 2-0 against Pakistan in Pakistan, he was there too.”
