Ace allrounder Shakib Al Hasan has said that the national players are looking forward to develop their skills in the shortest format of the game during the upcoming Zimbabwe series.
The four-match T20I series which begins on January 15 in Khulna will be Bangladesh's last chance to experiment ahead of the Asia Cup and ICC World Twenty20.
And although Zimbabwe have arrived in Bangladesh on the back of a 2-0 T20I series defeat against Afghanistan, Shakib doesn't think there will be any problem for his players to get motivated for this series.
“In terms motivation, there's no problem amongst the players. We all play at the national level and we are all motivated. But yes everyone is trying to improve their standard.
“If you look at Christiano Ronaldo or [Lionel] Messi, they have been the best footballers for the last seven to eight years. So taking a cue from there, I think our players are trying to find out how they can be better players,” Shakib told reporters after training at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna yesterday.
There are a number of players in the side who managed to break through recently due to their performances in the Bangladesh Premier League.
