BSS, Dhaka :
Despite a lean batting form, Bangladesh batting coach Jamie Siddons kept faith on Mushfiqur Rahim and Test captain Mominul Haque as he believed that the duo would get back to amongst runs during the first Test against Sri Lanka, starting on May 15 at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.
Bangladesh’s batting’s mainstay Mushfiqur averaged only 26 this year in longer version form and also went through a bad patch in white ball cricket, much to the disappointment of the cricket fans.
Mominul meanwhile got out in single digit figure for nine times in the last 12 innings. His score was just 0, 2, 6 and 5 in the last four innings against South Africa.
While those two vital cogs of were going through a massive bad patch, it affected Bangladesh’s batting badly. But Siddons saw runs coming from the duo very soon.
“Every batsman goes through patches where they don’t make runs. I am really confident that Mushfiqur will make runs out here this week,” Siddons said at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium after Bangladesh’s practice session on Tuesday.
