Najmul Hossain Shanto gave a big statement: Let us tell you that after losing the Test series 2-0 against Sri Lanka, captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said- The way we finished the match is very disappointing. We did not play well in this Test, so we are disappointed with it. The way we batted in the first innings was not as expected, due to which we lost the match.
Shanto further said- I still think we should have batted first. The way we got out was not good enough. We made a lot of mistakes in our batting in the first innings. The way we bowled on the third day was worth watching in such conditions. I hope those players will perform well in the future as well.
