"Bangla have matured a lot"

"We all know that we have a long way to go to be classed as a real threat to the top four teams but they will no longer take us lightly," Bangladesh coach Jamie Siddons said.

"I hope that all of those who saw fit to criticise this team of young cricketers can now admit that there is definite signs of us improving."

"I believe that the players, though still very young and on the whole very inexperienced, have just shown the wisdom and improvement that comes with time," he said.

"This group is gaining more and more confidence at this level and will continue to improve as time goes on."

"Shakib's captaincy was successful although at times his youth was tested and his patience with others of lesser ability in his team tested," Siddons said.

"He led magnificently with his own performance throughout the tour, and I think won three or four man of the match awards and man of the series as well."
