“I am one of the senior players so we are not going to be around for long. But this is becoming a culture, so the younger players need the support.
“If I have to spend so much time tackling these things off the field, our on-field duties get affected.
“I think there’s no value for experience in Bangladesh. It is a huge deal to have played for 17 years.
“It is a great feeling to become the first Bangladeshi to reach 5,000 Test runs. But I am sure I am not the last one.
“There’ll be a lot of capable players among our seniors and juniors who can reach 8,000 or 10,000 runs.”
