Dr Yunus calls Bangladesh cricket team captain after historic Test win

Chief Adviser Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus on Tuesday called national cricket team captain Najmul Hossain Shanto over the phone to congratulate him and the team for their historic Test series win against Pakistan, said a spokesperson of the CA.

"Heartiest congratulations on behalf of the government and myself. The whole nation is proud of you," the Chief Adviser told Shanto moments after Bangladesh completed a six-wicket victory in the Second Test in Rawalpindi to complete a 2-0 clean sweep victory in the two-Test series.

He said the Bangladesh team would be accorded a reception when it comes back home.
