In the recently concluded Zimbabwe series, the two openers of Bangladesh failed very fast. In the 4 innings Imrul Kayes scored 53, Liton Das 47. Bangladesh did not get the opening pair of any century in the last 22 Test innings. Fifty pair in the last 10 innings is just one. But in the innings of Sylhet Test against Zimbabwe, one could not play a big innings till the end of the two openers.
Imrul's failure in the Test series against Zimbabwe was aroused by surprise. Before the Test, he scored two centuries in the ODI series. The batsman, who was a part of the Test series,
Rhodes feels this failure of the opener But the Bangladesh coach is comforting himself thinking about the fate.
"The top order can not burn us expectantly. But sometimes it is so. It is not always possible to run Imrul is a big example here. One-dayer is in great form, but it can not bring the form in Test. "
Not only this series, Imrul's suffering in Tests is going on for more than two years. Fifty never got in the last 20 innings There is no century in 30 innings. Tamim has been ruled out due to injury because of his experience in the West Indies series.
Coach is not going to lose confidence in Imrul. His belief that the left-handed opener will be back in the wicket, he will be back in the game.
"If they do not get the fifty, they will have confidence in confidence. Imrul came to believe that he was white, he could not bat with much faith in red. It is a matter of fact that by going to the wicket, you have to put yourself in front. Every time the wicket is spent, everyone becomes more confident. "
