Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 72348, member: 636"] Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto praised left-arm spinner Taijul Islam's dedication after the bowler surpassed Shakib Al Hasan as the nation's most prolific Test wicket-taker during a 217-run victory over Ireland at Mirpur. The skipper emphasized that Taijul's quiet professionalism and relentless preparation have shaped the Tigers' red-ball fortunes across a decade. Shanto told reporters that consistent excellence from veterans like Taijul and Mushfiqur Rahim deserves greater recognition to elevate public appreciation for the longest format. He urged media outlets to amplify such accomplishments alongside team performances. The spinner reached 250 career dismissals in the match at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, cementing his status as Bangladesh's leading Test wicket collector. [/QUOTE]
