Bangladesh v Australia - 2nd Test: Day 3
Mustafizur was the only effective pacer against Australia

Bangladesh's bowling attack is dominated by the spinners. Although the sub-continent nation has quality pacers, their role so far has been limited and it has resulted in hampering their development.

Mustafizur Rahman is one of the most promising young bowlers in world cricket. Since his debut in 2015, he has featured in six Tests and has claimed 17 wickets. In the same span, Mehidy Hasan Miraz played nine Tests while Shakib Al Hasan featured in 11 Tests.

Apart from Mustafizur, no other pacer has made any significant impact in Tests and hence, Bangladesh's pace department lacks depth. They do have potentially good candidates who have the ability to bowl at decent pace and can make the ball move in dangerous ways but lack of chances and other factors has costed them dearly.

The hollow pace attack can become an Achilles heel for the sub-continent nation and hence they need to work on this aspect.
