Shakib Al Hasan rues missed opportunities after narrow defeat

Bangladesh Test skipper Shakib al Hasan told reporters that he is disappointed with his team’s poor catching that cost them the series-concluding second Test against India. The hosts put down as many as three catches including a regulation chance offered by Ravichandran Ashwin at forward short-leg when the all-rounder failed to negotiate a Mehidy Hasan Miraz delivery that turned a wee bit. The hosts were in the ascendancy until that point but reprieving Ashwin on a personal score of 6 proved costly as he turned the game in his team’s favour by stitching an undefeated 71-run partnership with Shreyas Iyer.
