Bangladesh may hit the lowest ebb following their 2-0 whitewash in a Test series at the hands of a severely depleted West Indies side at home recently but they still hope for the best in the Sri Lanka tour.
Bangladesh is here in Sri Lanka now for a two-match Test series, with the first match beginning tomorrow (Wednesday) at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy.
The result against the West Indies and the recent drubbing at the hands of New Zealand in limited over series put Bangladesh cricket in the jeopardized state but particularly the pressure on Test captain Mominul Haque is immense, considering the stat that he led the side to only one victory in six matches.
Nonetheless ahead of the first Test against Sri Lanka, Mominul Haque played down the pressure factor, saying that they are not in pressure for what happened in the past, rather they want to focus on the present and put their best to earn the best result.
Bangladesh reached the Island nation on April 12 after which they maintained a three-day room quarantine. Then they played an inter-squad two-day practice game.
Mominul said the preparation might not be considered as the best but they still had taken good preparation for the series.
