Mujeeb happy with wickets

Although Andre Fletcher felt it was easier to go after spinners, Bangladesh players may not feel the same when Afghanistan come here to play three ODIs and two T20Is.

One Afghan star, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, has been making a big impact since his arrival to the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) to represent Fortune Barishal.

The wickets at Mirpur had confounded Australia and New Zealand during home series before the T20 World Cup. But while the ball turns and stays slow for most spinners in Mirpur, the Afghan spinners can terrorize batters on any surface. Thus the wickets used to bamboozle Australia and New Zealand could be a blessing in disguise for the likes of Mujeeb and Rashid Khan in the upcoming series. "We are happy to be playing here. We played a lot of series here. But my bowling in this BPL is very economical and I also got some wickets. After BPL we have a series against Bangladesh. We are happy that the conditions here favour spin, we are happy about the spin in Asia but especially in Dhaka, Chattogram and Sylhet," he said.

Mujeeb said both teams would be looking for all available points in the upcoming series, which will signal Bangladesh's start to the ODI Super League.
