Credit to Mominul for such a victory: Mashrafe

Former ODI captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza stated that the entire credit of Bangladesh's historic Test match victory against New Zealand should be given to the current Test skipper Mominul Haque.
Facing the journalists at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur today, Mashrafe told the reporters that despite the absence of senior players like Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal, Mominul has led the team to an emphatic victory against the Kiwis in the first Tests in Mount Maunganui on Wednesday.

"Those who watch the game from outside, think that the absences of Shakib [Al Hasan] and Tamim [Iqbal] mean the team is half vacant. He [Mominul] motivated the team from that point and won the match. This is an amazing thing. Of course, Mushfiqur [Rahim] was there to help him. But overall, I think, he needs to be given the entire credit," the former skipper said.

Mominul got the responsibility of leading the Test side when Bangladesh cricket was going through a difficult chapter. He faced criticisms from the media and the fans for not being able to bring good results. However, Mashrafe believes, the feat Bangladesh achieved under his captaincy after everything he had been through, must be credited.


"Hat's off to Mominul! Because at first Mominul was made captain of the Bangladesh Test team [after Shakib was banned]. Everything happened through a process, and the captaincy was not given to anyone else on the team. Back then, I wasn't even sure if Mominul was prepared then.

"Since then, after enduring so much criticism, he assembled the team and brought such a huge victory. But the entire credit of this huge victory goes to him," Mashrafe concluded.
