Former Bangladesh pace-bowling coach Shaun Tait said he was not surprised by Bangladesh’s bowling performance in Australia, arguing that the attack can perform in any conditions. Speaking to Cricinfo while assessing the series, Tait said batting had appeared likely to be Bangladesh’s biggest test in Australia, but the team also performed strongly with the bat in the first Test. He said he had not expected a first-Test victory, yet never doubted the side’s fighting mentality.

Tait highlighted pacers Hasan Mahmud and Shoriful Islam as particularly promising. He said Hasan’s effective, economical action could support long-term success despite possible injuries, and that county cricket would benefit both the bowler and Bangladesh cricket. Tait said his work with Shoriful in the BPL focused mainly on mentality, helping the left-arm pacer move on quickly after poor spells rather than blaming himself.

Former Bangladesh cricketer Athar Ali Khan said the team’s progress, belief and overseas achievements had advanced rapidly. Bangladesh are now fourth in the Test rankings after the Australia series, according to the source. It said managing the workload of Hasan, Shoriful and Taskin is crucial, alongside maintaining overseas batting consistency, adapting to different conditions and sustaining mental resilience across successive series.
