Bangladesh head coach Russel Domingo said on Monday that his charges will take confidence from the recent performance in the Bangladesh Cricket League.
Country’s lone franchise-based competition that was brought forward by BCB to give Test cricketers some practice ahead of the Test against Pakistan.
Tamim Iqbal scored his maiden triple hundred while Mominul Haque and Mahmudullah also scored a century and in the bowling front left-arm spinner Taijul Islam and Nayeem Islam picked five and six wickets respectively to get some confidence under their belt.
"There's no doubt that runs in the middle is worth more than just practicing in the nets," he said. "So the players who got runs will gain confidence. Tamim's three-hundred is a fantastic effort and it is something that should be treasured, as it doesn't happen often,’’ said Domingo
"Mominul and [Mahmudullah] Riyad got hundreds and Mithun got a 60. Guys have got five wickets. They have shown why they are in the Test team. It is always important for Test players to put in big performances in domestic cricket,’’ he said adding that consistency is needed in selection policy.
‘’When you say Mithun is not in good form, he is currently 60-odd not out. He has come off playing one T20I in Pakistan. I think he had a decent BPL. I wouldn't say he is in bad form. Soumya seems to be playing well. I want to make sure we have continuity in selection. Mithun was in our last Test series in India, under tough condition. It is hard to leave a guy out after one or two Tests. I have always said that selection needs to be consistent, and we give guys an opportunity to play a number of Tests before you make decisions on their careers. A lot of the guys on this tour were with us in India. We are giving them opportunities to improve their game,’’ he said.
