There was as many as six to seven opening batsmen in the Bangladesh team for the just concluded T-20 series in Pakistan.
Team management had to change the batting order and most of the batters were unhappy with batting batted out of position in the series.
Mohammed Mithun, who batted in the top- order, batted down the order and was dropped from the second match of the series after just faced five delivers in the first match.
Liton Kumar Das Saumyo Sarker and Afif Hossain also batted in the middle order but they was not successful at all with their batting.
Bangladesh batting coach Neil Mczenize told that batting in the opening spot and batting in the middle order is totally different
‘’.I think at the moment we have got too many batsmen batting 1,2, and 3 .if you look at the squad they are all quality players but they all bat in the top order .its a different skill batting at 4 5 6.You are on 0 and you are facing a quality spinner’’ Mczenize told reporters on Sunday.
One senior cricketers told a leading newspaper without identified his name to a leading Bangladesh newspaper.
‘’Naim Sheikh replaced Tamim Iqbal in the India series. Naim should not open with Tamim as both are slow starters.They both try to build innings Saumyo or liton should have opened with Naim .i understand Naim has batted well in India but he should not have opened ith Pakistan with Tamim’’ he added.
In football matches strikers and goalkeepers do not change position and play matches and most of the batsman feels that way when they bated in Pakistan .one leading player told that newspaper.
‘’Cricket is a mental game .if any batsman has been successful in every position than nobody would bat at any specific number. If we keep playing like this we will not able to have a strong team. You will see int-20 cricket we can score more than 140 runs. Every batsman wants to bat at specific number," he said
