Harbhajan Singh Talks About India’s Test Series Against Bangladesh and Congratulates Jay Shah
New Delhi [India], August 29: Ahead of India’s upcoming Test series against Bangladesh, former cricketer Harbhajan Singh emphasized that smaller teams can perform well and should not be underestimated. He was speaking at a Legends League Cricket (LLC) event in Delhi.
Harbhajan said, “It will be a great series. The Indian cricket team is very capable and has potential. However, we can’t strike through Bangladesh as well, they have beaten Pakistan in the first Test match against Pakistan. Sometimes, smaller teams perform well in matches.”
India will play a two-match series against Bangladesh at home from September 19 to October 1, featuring Bangladesh spinners like Shakib Al Hasan, Taijul Islam, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Mahedi Hasan. This will be followed by a three-match test series against New Zealand from October 16 to November 5. These series will prepare India for the Border Gavaskar Trophy later this year.
Legends League Cricket will be played in India and Qatar from September 11 to October 5 this year.
Harbhajan also congratulated Jay Shah for becoming the new chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC). He added, “I want to congratulate Jay bhai for becoming the chairman of ICC. Whenever someone from India becomes the chairman of ICC, it’s a big thing for us. I want him to promote other cricket in other nations as well just like how he did with the Indian cricket.”
Jay Shah has been elected unopposed as the next Chairman of the ICC. Shah, who has served as the BCCI Secretary since October 2019 and Chairman of the Asian Cricket Council since January 2021, will assume this prestigious role on December 1, 2024.
