“He [Liton] needs to get back to his basics... He needs to mix more with others and give time to cricket,” Mahmud told reporters yesterday.
“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.
Despite scoring a career-best 85 off 58 balls, Liton Das was unable to take Comilla Victorians over the line as the defending champions suffered a 12-run defeat against Sylhet Strikers in the Bangladesh Premier League in Chattogram on Monday.
Liton’s innings, which contained seven fours and three sixes, and a 14-ball 23 from Andre Russell were not enough to get Comilla over the line
Comilla Victorians skipper Liton Das said his side as well as his national team teammates leave a lot to be desired when it comes to playing according to the different phases of play, particularly the middle overs.

Najmul Hossain Shanto will lead Bangladesh team in the two-match Test series at home against New Zealand later this month as a number of leading players, including Liton Das will be missing, informed BCB's cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus.
"I think Liton’s got to battle with himself,” Sriram told The Daily Star before the team’s match against Australia today.
