Reminding the Memories of Lords, Shakib Congratulates Mushfiq

Mushfiqur Rahim’s 100th Test in Bangladesh cricket is not just a personal milestone but also a symbol of perseverance and consistency in the country’s Test cricket. Sustaining performance in Test matches over a career spanning more than two decades is no easy feat. This achievement of Mushfiq serves as an inspiration for his teammates as well. Reflecting on the past, Shakib Al Hasan shared an emotional message on this special occasion.

Recalling Mushfiq’s debut Test at Lord’s, he wrote on his verified Facebook page, “I remember when you played your first Test at Lord’s, I was sitting in the BKSP recreation room watching every single ball. Since that day, you have been an inspiration to me and countless other cricketers in Bangladesh.”

Highlighting Mushfiq’s leadership, Shakib added, “Ever since you led the age-group teams, I have looked up to you as my captain. As long as I play cricket, you will remain my captain.”

Looking ahead to the 100th Test, Shakib extended his best wishes: “Congratulations on this special milestone of your 100th Test. This is a historic achievement for any cricketer. Just as I watched every ball of your first match, I will watch every ball of this match as well.”

The closing lines of Shakib’s message carry both a hint of regret and warmth of friendship: “I wish I could play this match alongside you and celebrate this achievement with you on the field.”
