Shakib Al Hasan said ( about Ekke Primauno ) : "I think you can't fault the players totally for it (being less interested in Tests) because our system is like that.

Shakib Al Hasan told : "We definitely have a lot of areas to improve but if we can play as a unit, it is possible to win the T20 series (against West Indies). If you keep the upcoming T20 World Cup in mind this series is very important as we will play the Asia Cup next before going on to the World Cup. So from that point of view, this series is very important for us,"
