Indian Pacers Will Get Lot Of Advantage With Pink Ball: Aminul Islam

Former Bangladesh captain Aminul Islam has recently said that India have the best bowling attacking currently and it feels that the host will have advantage with the beautiful pink ball in their maiden day/night Test.
Eden Gardens looks has set to host India's maiden Day/Night Test against Bangladesh.
Due to all this, Former Bangladesh captain Aminul Islam is in great awe of India's current pace attack.
Aminul Islam feels that the hosts will have an advantage with the pink ball. He also said that India is emerging as a role model in the world cricket.
Islam, the first Bangladeshi Test centurion, even compared the Indian pace attack to the lethal West Indian fast bowlers of the 1970s and 1980s.
Islam told PTI in a telephonic interview that the way they saw the variation of pace bowling by (Mohammed) Shami, Ishant (Sharma) and (Umesh) Yadav, they will enjoy a lot of advantage with this pink ball. Wherever one play, one gets that extra breeze in the evening. India is going to take a lot of advantage of that.

"Earlier, we have witnessed spinners like Anil Kumble leading Indian bowling but now it's all about the pacers. This is one of the big transformations in Indian cricket. They have with them their best bowling attack ever, it's like the way the West Indians dominated the pace attack (in the world) at single point of time."

The 51-year-old former batsman, who has scored 145 in Bangladesh's maiden Test in 2000 in Dhaka against India, said that India is emerging as a great model in world cricket.


"The world usually follows Australia in cricket, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you notice, India has been consistent and thus it can be a role model. They have been proving at the highest level."
Islam said the day/night match at Eden Gardens, which is the second and final Test of the India-Bangladesh series, will take the game to a new height.
