Nazmul Hossain Shanto: Ahead of the two-match Test series against Pakistan in August, Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto feels that young leg-spinner Rishad Hossain is not ready for the red-ball format yet.

Rishad's chances were boosted for the upcoming Test series after his stellar performance in the recently concluded T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA. He had scalped 14 wickets and finished as the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the tournament.

"I think selectors can answer better (whether Rishad will be picked for Test cricket or not) but as per my experience I don't think he is ready for red ball yet," Cricbuzz quoted Shanto as saying in a private event in Dhaka on Tuesday.
