Sabbir Rahman

Bangladesh and controversial statements go hand in hand. When Bangladesh were all set to host England in 2016, Sabbir had made a bold statement,t but that sounded more arrogant.

After beating India, South Africa, and Pakistan in their backyard, Bangladesh were riding through a brilliant phase. England too were having good form. Sabbir felt that his men could chase and post 500 even.

“A team is always strong at their home ground. So are we. England is doing well in England. When they come here, they will probably have to battle our spinners, and they will need to survive that,”

“I am not thinking about 400, 500 runs. Even if they do score that much, we have the batsmen who have the ability to chase that down,” said Sabbir.

He got trolled for his remark after England won the series 2-1.
