Don’t underestimate Bangladesh says Abdur Razzak

May 25 (CRICKETNMORE) - The Cricket World Cup is always the biggest event for Bangladesh. In 1999 we beat Pakistan. In 2007 we beat South Africa and of course, India says Bangladesh spinner Abdur Raz

In Bangladesh, we speak about the Big Five. They are five of the best one-day players in the world: Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Tamim Iqbal and Mashrafe Mortaza. 

They are special players and they will help the younger, newer players in the side perform well and win games.

People say we are too dependent on the performances of the Big Five – sure, it’s a young squad aside from them but none of the other players are new to the team. They all have experience.

One player I am excited about is Mosaddek Hossain. I was a bit concerned about him and whether he could play a part in a crucial middle-order position. 

We all saw how he played in Ireland, taking the wickets to help us beat the West Indies. He proved that he can do well and his role with the bat will be vital too. 

We beat England in 2011 and 2015. This year everything is in their favour, but we will try hard and it would be our biggest-ever win if we beat them.
