Unexpectedly, Mominul Haque became the captain of the Bangladesh Test team. Shakib Al Hasan was banned before his tour of India in 2019. Two days later it was learned that Tamim Iqbal was not going to India either. No time on hand. The captaincy was handed over to him.
He captained India in two Tests in Indore and Kolkata. Both are doomed. Then the Rawalpindi Test against Pakistan in February 2020. Innings rate there too. Bangladesh have lost all three of the four Tests they have played under Mominul's captaincy by an innings. Muminul, however, won against Zimbabwe at home last March.
Bangladesh was away from international cricket because of Corona. When Bangladesh is returning to cricket after almost a year, Mominul is getting a full strength Bangladesh team. Which he did not get at the beginning of his captaincy. Shakib's experience with Tamim and Mushfiqur will surely add a new dimension to Muminul's captaincy. He said this in an online press conference before the Chittagong Test on February 3, "I think it is better for me to have Shakib Bhai or those who are older as young captains." As such, I think it will be much more advantageous for me (to compete with the West Indies). '
Muminul likes to think of himself as an offensive captain. However, Muminul did not have the opportunity to become an aggressive captain after taking charge. Muminul's aggressive captaincy can be seen in the fact that the veterans are in the team this time, "I always like to be an aggressive captain. The captaincy may look different due to the conditions of the match. But I always like to be an aggressive captain. '
2020 Salta will be a regret for Muminul. Bangladesh had a lot of Tests last year. Muminul also got a big chance to settle down as a captain. But it didn't happen because of Corona. Tests against Australia and New Zealand at home were postponed. Bangladesh was scheduled to play one more Test in Pakistan and two more in Sri Lanka. But it is also ruined.
Bangladesh will return to Test cricket tomorrow after a long break. With this, the long journey of Muminul's captaincy is going to start again. Muminul's thrill is expected on this subject. Saying today, ‘Yes, starting anew. I am also thrilled as a captain. '
