Soumya and Liton ‘put their hands up’ on getting approach wrong in first T20I

Coach Hathurusingha said, “It’s not about this pair but correcting what we have done wrong in the past. 

Will the trials stop with Soumya-Liton?

Bangladesh have not had a stable opening pair in a while. Even looking at the records over the last two years, there have been 13 different opening pairs turning up for the Tigers.
