At the press conference after the Chattogram Test, the Bangladesh captain said in a strong voice that he was not worried about his batting at all. Is that really so? In the last ten innings, Mominul Haque’s bat has smiled in only two innings. At Christchurch he has scored 37 runs folliwing an 88-run innings in the first Test at Mount Manganui. Then in the last five innings, he could not take the number of his runs in the double-digit quota.
Mominul also failed in Dhaka Test after Chattogram Test. He can’t seem to find himself with the bat. However, Bangladesh Cricket Board President Nazmul Hasan Papon has full confidence in the captain. Mominul’s captaincy is being heavily criticized along with his recent bad form. The captain himself put the team in danger by making a wrong decision during the difficult time of the match. However, the world’s best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has stood by Mominul in this difficult time.
Asked to support Mominul in difficult times, Shakib said, “This situation is definitely a bit difficult for a captain. But the most important thing at this time is how we support him. At Test cricket, we have no better option than Mominul. So, we have to support him. Only one innings can change everything again. “
Although Shakib stood by Mominul in his hard times, many have also raised questions about Mominul’s captaincy. For a time, many compared his batting average to Don Bradman’s batting average. Mominul is now looking for himself. Only time will tell when Mominul will return to form. However, netizens have criticized him through social media.
