Nahid Rana reveals key to recent success with Bangladesh

Taskin has been Bangladesh's premier pacer across all formats for the majority of the past decade and Rana said the veteran has proven an inspiration for his recent performances. I have watched him play since I was young and, after seeing him up close, I see him as an elder brother. He always treats me with affection like a younger brother," Rana said. "Whenever I make mistakes, he tells me, 'Rana, it will be good for you if you do these things.' I always see him as an elder brother and our relationship is like that."

Taskin has been Bangladesh's premier pacer across all formats for the majority of the past decade and Rana said the veteran has proven an inspiration for his recent performances.

"My relationship with him (Taskin) is very good. I have watched him play since I was young and, after seeing him up close, I see him as an elder brother. He always treats me with affection like a younger brother," Rana said.

"Whenever I make mistakes, he tells me, 'Rana, it will be good for you if you do these things.' Because he has already gone through this phase of life and cricket, he guides me a lot. I always see him as an elder brother and our relationship is like that."
