Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto is optimistic about a good result against New Zealand in the two-match Test series against New Zealand as he believes that the bowling attack that his team has possessed is good enough to win the side a Test match on home soil.
"The bowling attack that we have is good enough to win us a Test on home soil. We have to make it [winning Test matches at home] a habit in fact," Shanto said in Sylhet today.
"To win a Test against any nation at home is now on top of our agenda. Then we will think about how we can win Test matches outside home."
