Sri Lanka Vs Bangladesh 1st Test:
Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hussain Shanto said on the eve of the match, "Mehdi is still under the observation of doctors. His health is improving, but the decision to include him in the playing XI will be taken considering his condition at the time of the start of the match. However, his presence balances the team."
The Bangladeshi captain is confident that the batsmen can take advantage of the early lead in Galle before the pitch breaks down and becomes spin-friendly. He said that playing spin can be challenging, but a lot of runs are also scored in the first two or three days in Galle. We want to take advantage of that opportunity. There will be challenges for the batsmen, as spinners take a lot of wickets here.
Bangladesh last played a Test in Galle in 2017. At the same time, Shanto himself scored his first Test century in Sri Lanka at Pallekele on the 2021 tour.
The Bangladeshi captain said that we are playing the Test without important players like Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal. Our team is going through the process of formation, but, I am happy that some experienced players in the team will perform well here. Shanto said that we will choose the playing eleven according to the situation.
Mehdi Hasan Miraz is a great lower order batsman as well as a great spinner and can prove to be very important for the team in the spin pitch conditions of Sri Lanka. This 27-year-old player has scored 2,068 runs in 53 Tests and has also taken 205 wickets.
Sri Lanka's all-rounder Dhananjay de Silva will be seen captaining. Also, the team's experienced player Angelo Mathews will be seen playing his last Test. Nazmul Hussain Shanto, who has been chosen as the Bangladesh captain, will captain the team.
In terms of pitch and weather, the Galle pitch is considered spin-friendly, which is likely to help the spinners, teams will be eyeing to collect early WTC points with a strong performance.
Sri Lanka's Test team is going through a phase of change this time. Veteran all-rounder Angelo Mathews is going to play his last Test, while the captaincy has been handed over to Dhananjay de Silva. On the other hand, Bangladesh defeated Afghanistan in a Test at home in 2024, but after that they had to face defeat in the series against Pakistan and South Africa. The team's batting often struggles, while they look comparatively better in the spin department.
