Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo insisted that it’s high time they started investing on the youngster as they prepare them for Test cricket in the future.
Domingo, who is at the helm in only his second Test, did not take long time to realize that he needs siphon out players who want to play Test and who wants to play Twenty20 cricket.

Bangladesh, who was embarrassed at home by newbie Afghanistan, is staring at another defeat against India as the host are on a driving seat after the second day’s play of the opening Test, courtesy 393 runs with four wickets in hand.
Visitors gave the host some hard time in just concluded three-match Twenty20 series but when it came to Test match they simply seemed out of sorts with the seniors failing to take up the responsibility in the longer formats.
“It is a challenge which I need to come to terms to, as a coach. It is obviously a tough one being my second Test match and seeing how guys approach Tests. How they train leading into Test cricket. It is hard for me to say whether guys prefer, that you need to ask them. There are definitely players who are more suited to T20s, and some more suited to Tests. Some players are hungry when they play T20, some are hungry when they Tests. I think trying to siphon out the T20 into one side and Test match guys into one side is something that I am grappling with. After this last T20 series and the first days of the Test, I am starting to get an understanding,’’ Domingo told reporters after the second days play.
