Let me tell you, its not easy. It takes time. Insha'Allah we'll reap rewards in future. The players are true patriots. They're not selfish. They play their hearts out. Saying something is very easy, but converting it into reality is very tough. There is no alternative to success. Stuggle is inevitable. The fact is cricket has moved to a very high level, and we were the most unfortunate team to be awarded test status, because we were given test status at a time when no longer talent was the only necessary factor for a good show in World Cricket. In the past two three decades, there were no such high class academies, domestic cricket wasn't that strong, no wonder Windies were the superpowers at that time but not now, because cricket has changed, and raw talent is not enough to dominate your opposition. Just wait and watch, we'll emerge, but all what is required is patience. The maxim 'Patience and perseverance leads to success' shouldn't be forgotten. The next test nation in future will suffer more than us, because cricket would have moved to a more higher level during the time when Bangladesh becomes champions in world cricket.
