The job is difficult, though. Bangladesh won the 2009 championship with the West Indies. The Bangladesh series boycotted the national team's cricketers in disagreement with the West Indies Board on salary and bonus.

Compared to 9 years ago, the Bangladesh team is now a lot of experienced, a lot. One of the most memorable success of the one-day series, Australia-England-Sri Lanka has been defeated in Tests. Shakib, who has captained 9 Tests, is optimistic about the success of the West Indies, saying, "I do not think much about captaincy. I think it will be easier to captain this time than ever. Because, our team is much better than before. '
