Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said his team's first win in test cricket against Pakistan on Sunday was a tribute to people killed during protests that toppled former premier Sheikh Hasina.
However, the new interim government, led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, allowed the two-test tour to Pakistan to go ahead. Bangladesh scored the 30 runs required without losing a wicket, sparking celebrations in the visitors' dressing room."It is nice to win on a birthday, special feeling," he said."But more special is the team's win. It's a historic day for us, it is massive.
"He has been playing cricket for 15-17 years and he never looks tired, doing things repeatedly over and over again," Najmul said.
