“If you ask me, it would have been better had Liton not played in the Test,” Papon told the media today.
If Liton has some issue to sort out, the team management knows it better than anyone else.
“I can’t speak about Liton’s dismissal. Liton can explain it better. But yes, you don’t see such dismissals often in Test cricket,” Shanto said after the match
Batting disasters are a regular event in Bangladesh’s Test cricket and having slumped in the first innings, the Bangladesh batters once again failed to take up the challenge against a resurgent Sri Lanka pace attack on the third day of the Sylhet Test yesterday.
“Our batting, to me, was really unexpected and not at all acceptable,” Razzak told the media after the day’s play.
Bangladesh lost five wickets for 47 runs in 13 overs late on the third day of Sylhet Test, having been earlier set a victory target of 511 runs by Sri Lanka on Sunday.
Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha said that he would like Liton Das to get back to form and score a lot more runs in red-ball cricket, starting with the upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka.
Bangladesh opener Liton Das was omitted from the 15-member squad for the third ODI against Sri Lanka, scheduled to take place in Chattogram tomorrow. The move comes on the heels of his persisting struggle with form, notably marked by consecutive dismissals for ducks in the ongoing home ODI series against the visitors.
“With the series now hanging in the balance, we believe Jaker Ali’s addition will provide the team with more options and flexibility in the middle order.”

Bangladesh’s star opener Liton Das is going through a rough patch, and veteran coach Nazmul Abedeen Fahim thinks that the more pressure will be put on Liton, the harder it will be for him to get back amongst runs.
