"My wife is here. Her sisters, brother in law, they are all in Dhaka, coming to Sylhet in two days' time," Moeen told reporters in Sylhet.

"Bangladesh is home; Pakistan is home; England is home. I see them as all the same to be honest. All my in-laws are here. Respect to them, it's my first time Syhlet. They always used to tell me, 'let's go to Syhlet' but somehow, I couldn't manage the time. It's nice to be here now. It's a shame we can't go out but I am very happy to be here," he said adding that he is keen to learn Sylheti words.
