Bangladesh captain Miraz wants to be strong under Miraz captaincy

He started his career in the national team under captain Mushfiqur Rahim. Since his debut, he gradually settled in the team and became an important player for the captains. After consistent performances with bat and ball, Mehidy Hasan Miraz has now shouldered the responsibility of leadership for a long time.
He has been made the captain in ODIs for a year, replacing Nazmul Hossain. Mehidy Hasan Mirazcredited senior players for his good performances at various times. Mehidy Hasan Miraz held his first press conference at Sher-e-Bangla Stadium today after taking over as captain. There, the new captain of Bangladesh in ODIs also spoke in the same tone.

Miraj said that his experience of playing under Mashrafe-Shakib Al Hasan-Tamim Iqbal at various times will come in handy as a captain, 'I made my debut in the Bangladesh team (in ODIs) under Mashrafe Bhai. I (as a player) have had many captains. It is a good thing for me that I have been able to learn a lot from them. Which I may be able to use during my captaincy.’

Mehidy Hasan Miraz has played the most matches under Shakib Al Hasan (41), Mashrafe (38) and Tamim (35). He has seen them handle difficult situations from a close distance. What are some things that he is trying to learn from them?

Mehidy Hasan Miraz answer is, ‘I have followed the way they used to make decisions, make strong decisions, how they used to make them. Sometimes you have to make strong decisions in difficult situations. Sometimes it will be in your favor, sometimes it will not. But how you make those decisions is important.’

Mehidy Hasan Miraz was in discussions about leadership even before joining the national team. He captained the team in the Youth World Cup. However, he captained the national team for the first time in November last year. Nazmul Hossain was the captain for two Tests and four ODIs when he was injured.

Now Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been given a new long-term responsibility. He will also have to plan the team. He will have to keep his teammates on the sidelines.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz said that he will use his old experience in this task as well, "Those who are junior, I will give those suggestions. When we first entered, the way the older brothers helped us, I will try to help in the same way. To keep the dressing room that way. So that whoever is in the dressing room, he does not feel that I am alone, everyone is with me."
