Bangladesh's Rishad Hossain Tipped for Test Cricket Success by Mushtaq Ahmed
Bangladesh's leg-spinner Rishad Hossain has been tipped for Test cricket success by spin bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed. The 25-year-old, who has taken a five-wicket haul in an ODI, is praised for his lethal abilities and potential in the longer format.
Ahmed, who has been coaching in Bangladesh, believes Hossain's height, bounce, and ability to bowl a good wrong'un make him a threat against deep batting lineups in Test cricket. Despite his impressive T20I record, Hossain has been less regular in ODIs, with his most recent match being his 12th. However, Ahmed is confident that Hossain will make an impact in Test cricket, stating '100 per cent'.
Hossain, who has played 21 first-class matches, is eager to improve his red-ball skills. Ahmed credits local coaches for Hossain's development and emphasizes the importance of a good red-ball environment to nurture a leg spinner like Hossain. The young bowler has worked hard to improve his skills and is ready to take the next step in his career.
Rishad Hossain, with his lethal leg-spin abilities, is set to make his mark in Test cricket. Backed by coach Mushtaq Ahmed and with a strong work ethic, Hossain is poised to become a key player in Bangladesh's Test squad.
