Najmul Hossain Shanto makes massive statement on Bangladesh’s WTC 2025-27 final hopes

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto has expressed optimism regarding his team's unexpected contention for the 2025-27 World Test Championship final. Currently sitting fourth in the standings, the squad is preparing for a two-match home series against the West Indies, with Shanto emphasizing a focused, match-by-match approach rather than looking toward the final standings.

The skipper noted that the team views their current position as a source of inspiration rather than a burden of expectation. This newfound confidence follows a significant nine-wicket victory over Australia in Darwin this past August, a result that has noticeably increased the players' enthusiasm for the longest format of the game.

The opening match of the upcoming series is scheduled to begin on October 28.
