Meet Bangladesh's first cricketer to hit Test double ton, Mushfiqur Rahim

Galle (Sri Lanka), Mar 12: Mushfiqur Rahim on Monday become the first Bangladesh cricketer to score a double century in Test matches.  Bangladesh had lost all the 12 Tests that it played in Sri Lanka



Mushfiqur also applauded the performances of his former captain Ashraful, who made 190 runs. "Ashraful was under a lot of pressure coming after a long time and he played brilliantly. He's really a genius for Bangladesh cricket."



"When Shakib is not here and Tamim is not playing, Ashraful came into the team and we had a lot of expectations on him, because he has always played well against Sri Lanka. He knows that, so he's probably a bit unfortunate that he didn't score a double hundred. Hopefully next time he can make it. We're really happy to see him make big runs."
