In the chances of Najmul Hossain Shanto deciding to exit Test captaincy, Taijul Islam has stated that he is well prepared to take the role. According to few reports, Shanto is set to step down after the Test series against South Africa. Before the second Test match against South Africa, Taijul said that he was not aware of this decision by Shanto, and also that he is ready to take up this role if offered.
“I haven’t heard anything on this matter (regarding Najmul quitting from captaincy) It’s not part of our role, I’m not fully informed on this. Having played for 10 years, I’m fully prepared (for captaincy),” Taijul told reporters on Monday.
Taijul also stated that the team should remain in good condition and stay calm, accepting that some players might even get impacted by disturbances from outside.
“This is a team game. The most important thing is that the team remains in good condition. Some players may be affected by outside events, while others can continue their role with calmness. Personally, I try to stay relaxed and focus on my work. But within a team, I can’t say how each person reacts; everyone’s mindset is different. We’re not involved in management or board meetings,” he said.
