Aha!! Bangladesh sign off this Test series with a dominating 2-0 clean sweep, sealing their authority from first ball to final handshake, and that brings us to the end of our coverage of this memorable contest. Ireland fought bravely, especially in the second Test, showing heart and resistance, but they will know that improvement in both departments is needed if they want to truly challenge sides in subcontinental conditions where discipline is everything. The Tigers, meanwhile, will take confidence and pride, as their batting stood tall, their bowlers hunted in packs, and their intent never wavered across all three matches. The story now moves to white-ball cricket as the T20I series awaits us in just a few days, promising fresh thrills and new match-ups.
Until then, I am Dev Rajawat, signing off, along with my co-commentator Saptak Sanyal, scorer Sachin Yadav, and statistician Aman. That’s it from our side. Thanks for joining. But cricket doesn’t sleep. Plenty is happening around the world. Switch tabs, follow the fun. Goodbye from this tab! TAKE CARE! BREATHE AND SMILE! CIAO!

Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto collects the series trophy and joins his teammates for a celebration. They are now posing for a photograph in front of a board written "WINNERS" in it.
Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh's Skipper): "Yeah, first of all, I’d like to congratulate Ireland for the way they batted, especially in these conditions. The resistance they showed was excellent, and we really appreciated that fight. At the same time, I’m very proud of how our boys responded. Taijul, Miraz, and Murad were outstanding, and then Khaled and Nayeem came in during the middle session and did something special for the team. Everyone chipped in when it mattered, and that made me really happy.
If you look back at the whole two-match series, there were centuries from Liton, Mominul, and Mushfiq, and that is a big positive for us. Different players put their hands up in different situations, and that is what we always want as a team. The plan before the series was very clear, where we wanted our top order to bat long and set the tone, and I think we executed that very well. Now the goal is to continue this in the upcoming series.
We always want to play Test cricket. In the last two or three years, we’ve finally had a good number of matches, and hopefully that continues because the more we play, the more we can develop and show our skills in the longer format.
The crowd deserves a special mention. Whether they are in the stadium or watching from home, they always support us, even when we lose. As players, that means a lot. Their love and support keep us motivated, and we always try to make them proud.
A 2-0 win is a clinical result, and it’s a good sign for Bangladesh cricket. We will keep working hard and hopefully continue making our fans happy."

Taijul Islam (Player of the Series): "Many thanks. I think if you want to struggle and elongate your career, you have to try a lot of different things.
I knew that I was the first to 250 Test wickets (among Bangladeshi cricketers) and many congratulated me. I hope when the next generation players come up, they touch the milestone. Only then, we will be a great Test side and take our country forward.
The Mirpur wicket's nature is such that very few Tests go till the fifth day. We were surprised to see that it was even till the final day. If we get these better pitches, it will be helpful for us and we will develop as a Test team."

Mushfiqur Rahim (Player of the Match): "First of all thanks to the almighty for giving me the opportunity to represent my country. I would love to play more Test for country. Let's see what happens.
To be honest, I just want to watch each and every moment. I feel like playing my first game with the guys around. I hope we become a better Test team in the future.
Obviously now I am no more young to be honest. It is my responsibility to guide the young players. I try to help them and hope we do better together."
