Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam says he can lead the Bangladesh team if the board wants.

“I’m fully prepared since I’ve been playing for 10 years,” he said, responding to a question at a media conference on Monday (October 28).

Bangladesh are reeling from their seven-wicket loss to South Africa in the first Test in Dhaka. The second Test is scheduled to begin tomorrow in Chattogram.

Incumbent skipper Shanto says he wants to step down as the captain and focus on his batting. But the board has yet to decide.

Taijul made his Test debut in 2014 against West Indies. He is currently the second-highest Test wicket-taker for Bangladesh.

Speaking about contributing to the team as a senior player, he said it depends on how much other players are willing to utilise his experience. He said he steps up to lend a hand whenever an opportunity arrives.
