Speaking about Rohit's dismissal in his debut, Shakib revealed that he was said he is not prepared for the Indian batter. Though he did not pay attention to what was told to him, as he believed that a well-executed delivery can dismiss any batter 'It was my debut match and Rohit Sharma was the opponent or there was Team India. Actually, to be honest, I didn't think of that for once. I was told that I am new I won't be ready for Rohit Sharma. But I was sure that I will play with my strength. If I can bowl at the right places and can make the new ball swing it will put any batter in trouble.' Shakib will be important in Bangladesh's series against India. He also shared how he never sees his teammates as rivals. 'Whenever my team mates got a chance in the national team, it never came across my mind that I also need to be in the national team. I thought that whenever I will go to the national team I have to go there after being completely ready so that they can't drop me after playing one or two matches.' 'And during that time I was working a lot on myself, I was working on how to improve my skills and my plan was to go to the national team with my best version.' 'Whenever my team mates got a chance in the national team, it never came across my mind that I also need to be in the national team. I thought that whenever I will go to the national team I have to go there after being completely ready so that they can't drop me after playing one or two matches.' he concluded
