Bangladesh head coach Steve Rhodes urged that Soumya Sarkar, Mominul Haque and Mosaddek Hossain are still a part of Bangladesh's World Cup plans.
The three players were dropped for the ODI series against Zimbabwe after underperforming in the Asia Cup last month but Rhodes insisted that they should not be feel as all doors are closed for them.
According to the head coach the national discard should focus on performing in the domestic league so that they can caught the attention of the selectors.
‘’When people go out of the team, they feel lonely, down, disappointed and neglected and we don't expect it from Soumya and Mominul who are quality cricketers, ‘Rhodes told reporters at Mirpur on Thursday.
‘’They can push their way back into the team. Mosaddek has also gone out. I will be at the practice game [on Friday].
Rhodes added that he is keeping an eye on their performance in the ongoing National Cricket League and regularly exchanging words over the phone.
"I was delighted that Soumya got two 70s and a five-wicket haul in the NCL game. The timing is terrific. I was in contact with him,’’ said Rhodes.
‘’He is the type of player who can push out some of our players. They have to keep performing and then they can get a go,’’ he added.
Soumya will lead BCBXI against Zimbabwe on Friday at BKSP.
