Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed believes the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe will be a huge challenging assignment for the national team, citing the difficulty of playing in Zimbabwean conditions and the pressure that comes with facing a lower-ranked opponent, reports BSS.
Bangladesh are set to tour Zimbabwe for a one-off Test, three ODIs as many T20 internationals following their recent white-ball series against Australia.
Speaking to reporters today, Taskin said the Zimbabwe series would bring added pressure because any poor performance against the hosts would draw criticism despite Zimbabwe's strong record at home.
"Every day in life is a challenge. Every series is challenging. The Zimbabwe series coming up is even more stressful because they are playing in their own conditions. If we do badly against them, people will simply say we played badly against Zimbabwe," Taskin said.
The pace bowler stressed that Bangladesh's players are well aware of the challenge posed by Zimbabwe on home soil and warned against underestimating the hosts.
