We haven’t seen him do well in Tests in recent months, although he is one of our most important Test players.
“If it happens, it certainly wouldn’t be desirable. I am not sure whether his ODI-minded batting will affect him in Tests. “I have noticed that his batting has changed quite a lot recently. However, a concern for Bashar is that the 27-year-old will want to improve his limited-overs record and take his eye off the Test format, where he remains one of the Tigers’ better batsman with an average of 43 after 29 matches.īashar said of dropping Mominul for the ODIs against Zimbabwe: “It would have been great had Mominul been in the runs. That was Mominul’s first ODI appearances since 2015 and it seems a bit unfair that he has now been cast aside again after just two innings. The left-handed Mominul was dropped from Bangladesh’s squad for the upcoming ODI series at home against Zimbabwe after he played two games at the Asia Cup last month, scoring 9 and 5. Bangladesh selector Habibul Bashar hopes Mominul Haque’s quest to be selected in the Tigers’ ODI squad does not throw the batsman off his game in the longest format.
