He Inspired Me And Countless Cricketers In Bangladesh': Shakib On Mushfiqur Rahim Completing His 100th Test
Having made his debut for Bangladesh in 2005, the wicketkeeper-batter has been a dedicated player across all formats. His exceptional longevity is especially notable in Tests, given how few matches Bangladesh plays, allowing the 38-year-old to sustain a long career in this format.
Shakib took to Facebook and wrote a heartfelt message for Rahim as he penned, “I remember when you played your 1st test match in Lords I watched every ball from the recreation room in BKSP. From that day on you inspired me and countless cricketers in Bangladesh and beyond. You have been playing for a while and you have given your best to your game. From the time you were leading age level team I saw you as my captain and till now and forever I play cricket you will be my captain.
