"Taskin and I have tried together to build this group in a way in which we can be examples for the next generation of bowlers so that they can elevate the standards even higher," said Ebadot.
In the series, the pacers excelled in the first two phases of the innings – the first and second Powerplays - and this success shielded them from getting tested in the most happening phase of play, aka the death overs.
Taskin had sat out the Tests at home against New Zealand recently and the subsequent white-ball tour of New Zealand.

Bangladesh speedster Taskin Ahmed rued yet another missed opportunity to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Taskin Ahmed had been suffering from a shoulder injury since Bangladesh’s tour of South Africa last year and the injury flared up during the World Cup in India. The BCB has now decided to go for conservative treatment for Taskin and give him rest for four weeks.
Bangladesh ace paceman Taskin Ahmed said that he will have to manage his shoulder injury going forward. The speedster missed the last two World Cup matches against India and South Africa.

There was no official training session for Bangladesh on Sunday, a day after their comprehensive six-wicket win over Afghanistan in their World Cup 2023 opener. Only five members of the Tigers' squad worked out in the gym of the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala yesterday.
From a team that only ever tried to ‘spin to win’, Bangladesh have now evolved into a pace-centric attack heading into the ICC World Cup in India.
When last the ODI World Cup was played in South Asia, in 2011, five of the top seven wicket-takers in that tournament were spin bowlers. In the recent Asia Cup, however, in which more matches were played in Colombo (a notoriously spin-friendly venue) than any other venue, five of the top seven wicket-takers were seam bowlers.
