“It's a team game and they still have a very balanced, strong side. It will be challenging still, but without Steyn and Philander it will probably give us a bit more of an edge. It's not going to be easy to play against South Africa in their own conditions so this is the next step. We want to do well abroad and this is a great opportunity for us," the wicketkeeper-batsman added. Bangladesh are boosted following their maiden Test win against Australia last month. The win however, came at home where the Tigers have been consistent in all formats of the game. In the away tours, Bangladesh are yet to raise the bar of consistency. “You know when you are playing in South Africa that all the teams face difficulties. The fast bowlers and how we cope with those challenges (will be the key). As a nation we haven't played too many overseas Tests, but in the last two-and-a-half years we have been developing as a team,” said Mushfiq.
