Bangladesh captain calls Australia's full-strength Test squad an achievement

Bangladesh Test captain Najmul Hossain Shanto commended Australia's decision to send a full-strength squad for the two-match Test series starting August 13 in Darwin. Shanto considers this choice a mark of respect towards Bangladesh cricket. He acknowledged the challenge posed by Australia's experienced players, including Pat Cummins and Steve Smith.
