Bangladesh faced political turmoil and severe flooding when the Najmul-led Test team travelled to Pakistan for the two-Test series, worsening conditions for those affected.

"I think this win will bring joy to the people of the country because, in past few days...say flood or the protest, people have gone through many difficulties," Najmul said after the six-wicket win in the second Test on Tuesday. "But the way we played the match, I think this will bring a bit of laughter to the people's faces. And all of us know to what extent the general people of our country are crazy about cricket. Everyone supports us even if we lose matches. So we tried that how we can give something to the people of our country," he added.

It was not only the first Test series win against Pakistan but also Bangladesh's third series win from home after wins in West Indies in 2009 and Zimbabwe in 2021.

"Very important (the series win). I think everyone struggled a lot in the last one and a half months. But we all know that cricket is a very emotional thing in our country. So, I hope they will somewhat smile because we won the series and won the matches. And we are very happy that our crowd has got some happiness in their faces," he said.
