Tour to Bangladesh would be great. Many of our players have little to no experience on the subcontinent, particularly our bowlers.

Bangladesh looked good against New Zealand. Shakib Al Hasan must be the most valuable ODI player in world cricket at the moment.

I think every Zimbabwe supporter would bro. We need a series win now against Bangladesh. They're better than the West Indies and New Zealand.

I wouldn't say we are better than New Zealand yet, sure we beat them 4-0 and we did play very well. However, they are still better with the bat and are the superior fielding side. West indies on the other hand, yes I think Bangladesh is better than them. I think Zimbabwe needs to play this series with a sense of urgency and high intensity. Bangladesh have improved a lot since the last time we played and playing in bangladesh makes the task even more difficult. Winning the series is not impossible, and I think they should target that always despite who the opposition is. Without the mentality of a winner, you can never win.

I wouldn't say Bangladesh are better than New Zealand just yet. New Zealand sent a very young team to Bangladesh, particularly on the batting front. Bangladesh would still struggle to match New Zealand in New Zealand, although most sides find New Zealand a difficult place to tour.

Actually I thought the team they sent was pretty good. I heard they had a few injured players, but Bangladesh had two of their key players injured as well, i.e Tamim and Mashrafe.
