Bangladesh should play attacking cricket

Bangladesh cricket team has beaten all the Test playing countries in one day cricket. For the last few years we have been playing good cricket and winning also. But even in the matches that we win we do not play attacking cricket. While playing Test cricket, we should keep close-in fielders not only for the new batsman on the pitch but also for the batsman who has already settled on the pitch. If we keep the close-in fielders, we can always put pressure on the batsmen. In a nutshell, we have to be more aggressive in taking wickets rather than stopping runs. When Sri Lanka scored 67/8 in the First ODI, we removed the close-in fielders so that the batsmen could get easy singles and boundaries. There was no pressure put on them. Regarding batting, we also have to learn to play regular attacking shots.
