The historic win came up after Bangladesh were skittled out for 54 runs in the warm-up match against Cricket Australia XI.
Shanto, who was determined to put up a fight against a challenging Australia side, credited the team after the momentous victory.
“Very happy, proud of myself and the way the boys played. We did lot of hard work,” he said during the post-match presentation, calling it the biggest Bangladesh win across formats.
“Earlier, five years ago, pacers didn’t want to play Tests. But we’ve been playing lots of Test cricket and they are giving importance to Test format.
“They want to play, want to perform, want to be world-class. That is the mindset they now have.
“This is the biggest win so far for Bangladesh in any format. Going forward, we want to do something special in the future.”
