“Obviously we will prefer a flat track‚” he said with a wry smile.
“But we know that when you are playing in South Africa all the visiting teams face difficulties because the pitches tend to be quick. Over the past four years there are a couple of guys in team who have put their hands up on different conditions and we will have to acclimatise.”
Rahim added that Bangladesh have prepared to play on quick pitches in Potchefstroom and in Bloemfontein in the second Test but that he believes spin is also going to play a part.
“We have a couple of spinners in our team and in these conditions spin will surely play a key role because sometimes the ball may grip or skid. If the wicket offers us a little bit of spin I think we will exploit that‚” he said.
