Sports Desk: Although he started his career as a batsman, Mehdi Hasan Miraj was established in the national team as a spinner. Bangladesh got a big collection of 430 runs in the first innings of the first Test against the Caribbean in the first century of that mirage. As the last batsman, he was dismissed for 103 runs in the 23rd match. Mirage came to the crease of Liton Das out this morning.

In the seventh wicket, he made an 8-run partnership with Shakib. The pair broke through Shakib's out just before lunch. Despite the hope of a century, Shakib returned disappointed with regret. However, after the lunch break, Miraj returned to the field and scored a half-century. Fifty-three of what was in his Test career. After completing his half century, the right-handed batsman attacked Rakim Cornwall.

Down the wicket, after hitting four, the ball was again pounded by Long On, but the fielder lost his balance and could not hold the ball, so luckily Mirage survived. After Shakib's return, Taizul Islam gave good support to Miraj. He batted defensively with a lot of patience. His 72-ball innings came to an end when wicketkeeper Joshua da Silver was caught by Shannon Gabriel. 18 runs came from Taizul's bat. Before that he made a pair of 44 runs from 117 balls with Miraj. After Taizul's departure, another young Naeem Hasan became Miraj's companion. Miraj and Naeem started to run very fast.

Meanwhile, the umpire gave Naeem lbw off Cornwall. However, the review showed that the ball did not hit the stumps, so Naeem survived the ride. Naeem, who was making quick runs, lost to part-time bowler Nakrumah Bonar.

The ball touches his bat and hits the stumps. Although Naeem, who scored 24 runs, returned, Miraj did not lose confidence in himself due to lack of a partner. Keeping one side at bay, take Bangladesh forward and reach your desired goal. The spinning all-rounder turned the third fifty into the first century of his career. He completed the century with the last man Mustafizur Rahman.

Became quite aggressive after the century and returned to the dressing room with a long on catch. Before that, 103 runs came from Miraj's bat. In that impeccable innings of 224 minutes in his 18-ball innings, there were 13 eye-catching fours. So that Bangladesh's collection stands at 430 runs. Liton Das returned to the toilet at the beginning of the second day.

He made 36 runs off 6 balls. Shakib also got out before the lunch break. 6 runs came from his bat. Shakib had 5 fours in his 150-ball innings. On the first day, 5 batsmen of Bangladesh were out. At the beginning of the day, Tamim Iqbal returned with 9 runs and was bowled by Kemar Roach. After being run out, Shant returned for 25 runs. Muminul, Sadman and Mushfiqur were both victims of Warikan. Although Sadman's dismissal was seen later, he was not actually out.

Sadman scored 59, Mushfiqur 38 and Muminul 28 runs. Jomel Warrickan was the most successful bowler of the visiting team in this innings. The left-arm spinner took maximum 4 wickets for 133 runs in 48 overs. Rakim Cornwall, another spinner and the heaviest cricketer, got two wickets for 114 runs.
