You have to pay attention to guys like Babar and Rizwan, says Bangladesh bowling coach

Bangladesh's pace bowling coach Andre Adams opened up what they hope to achieve in the second Test after claiming their first-ever Test win over Pakistan in the opening match of the series in Rawalpindi.

In an interview with The Daily Star, Adams emphasized the importance of patience in Test cricket in Pakistan, noting uncertainty about the pitch conditions for the upcoming match.

“I don't know what sort of wicket we will get for the second Test. I don't know how much the plan will change. This is a country where you have to be patient in Test matches. I don't see the plans changing too much from the blueprint of the previous game. The plans could change if they (Pakistan) change their playing XI,” Adams said.

When asked about specific strategies for key batsmen like Babar Azam, Adams chose not to divulge details but acknowledged the threat posed by players of Babar Azam's caliber.

“I can't share the plan (laughs). Obviously, Babar is a great player and you have to be clear about what you want to do to get him out early. You have to pay attention to guys like Babar and (Mohammad) Rizwan, who can take the game away from you,” Adams said.
