Shakib Al Hasan defends Mominul Haque despite his poor form. “We have a two-day break. On our next training day in St Lucia, we will consider what is best for the team “Shakib stated.
Bangladesh Test captain Shakib Al Hasan has stated that his predecessor. Mominul Haque, is more than welcome to take a break from the game. Shakib’s comments came following Bangladesh’s seven-wicket loss to West Indies in the first Test at Antigua’s Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Sunday, June 19.
Mominul Haque resigned as Bangladesh Test captain following a 0-1 home loss to Sri Lanka last month. Mominul justified his decision to step down as captain by stating that he needed to focus on his batting after a string of poor performances in the past.

It is not advisable to make a decision immediately following a match: Shakib Al Hasan
“It’s difficult for me to say, but I talk to him (Mominul) on a regular basis, and we’ll talk again. ” It is possible for him to take a break if he believes he requires one. It is not advisable to make a decision immediately following a match. We have a two-day break. “On our next day of training in St Lucia, we’ll consider what’s best for the team,” Shakib told India Today.
Mominul’s poor form continued in the Antigua Test, where he scored a duck and four runs in two innings. In fact, Shakib delivered a strong performance, scoring half-centuries in both innings. While he scored 51 in the first innings, he followed it up with a valiant 63 in the second as Bangladesh collapsed to set the hosts an easy target of 84 runs, which they successfully chased despite losing their top-order.
It now remains to be seen whether Mominul will feature in Bangladesh’s playing XI for the all-important second Test match that will be played at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium Gros Islet in St Lucia on June 24.
