Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi highly appreciated Bangladeshi cricketers yesterday saying there is no scope to underestimate Bangladesh cricket team any more.
He made the remark just a day ahead of Indian Cricket team’s arrival in Dhaka.
Modi appreciated the recent performance of Bangladesh cricket team and also mentioned Shakib Al Hasan’s name. He, however, called him Al Hasan.
The prime minister hoped that Bangladesh would perform better in the days to come.
He also mentioned the name of Salma Khatun, a Bangladeshi female cricketer, and the girls who climbed the Everest.
The Indian prime minister also appreciated women empowerment in Bangladesh and said the Bangladesh prime minister, speaker, opposition leader in parliament and the chief of an opposition party are all female. Bangladesh set an example in this regard, he said.
