Bangladeshi spin bowling duo Abdur Razzak and Sohag Gazi will be looking to cement their places in the squad when Bangladesh play the three-match one-day international series against India next month at home.\u00a0Experienced left-arm spinner Razzak and off-spinner Gazi had been far from their very best in the recent times and their dip in form only added misery to the Tigers\u2019 fortune.
\nWith the India series knocking at the door, both know the importance of regaining their form in order to help the Tigers restore some lost pride.
\nGazi, who recently missed the opportunity to tour West Indies with the Bangladesh A team for injury, is learning the importance of adding variety to his bowling armoury.
\n\u2018Variation has become paramount for me,\u2019 Gazi told reporters at the BCB Academy ground.
\n\u2018I am trying to change areas, bring more variation to my bowling,\u2019 said Gazi, the first Bangladeshi to score a century and a hat-trick in a Test match.
\n\u2018Opposition analyse me quickly, through more video of my bowling,\u2019 said Gazi.
\n\u2018Our next opponents will also know my strengths and weaknesses, so I
\nhave to work harder. I must improve day by day,\u2019 he said.
\nGazi said that he is trying to spin the ball more rather than just pitching it on a certain place which he believes has become quite understandable now a days.
\n\u2018If you cannot spin the ball it would be hard to survive,\u2019 said Gazi.
\n\u2018Previously my skill training was on giving more turn to my bowling,\u2019 said Gazi. \u2018Now there are few areas that I am working on that will help me turn the ball more while I am also honing my skills to master the arm-ball even better,\u2019 he added.
\nGazi also suggested the need of a spin bowling coach who would help during these times.
\n\u2018I think it is important to have a coach for every department,\u2019 said Gazi
\n\u2018Saqlain Mustaq knew what a bowler wants, what is his requirement and I kept his advice in mind, which I am implementing,\u2019 said Gazi.
\nRazzak said it is important to contribute for team rather than earning personal accolades and he believes that remaining positive is the only way to do well.
\n\u2018I don\u2019t look at statistics, but put more focus on working hard, and giving what my team needs,\u2019 said Razzak, the first Bangladeshi bowler to take 200 ODI wickets.
\n\u2018Through good or bad times, it is important to stay positive. People will talk, but one cannot always hold on to these things,\u2019 said Razzak.
\n\u2018We have to move on. It is better to keep myself cool, and work hard,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
