Time to hand over the gloves to Liton Das

[Miraz]

No.

Liton Das is not a Test material. He needs to sort out his off side game before he can be considered for the Test side.

Nurul is a better choice.

What, if any form suits him is its tests, in odis he's forced play more balls, in tests he can leave outside off and wait for straighter balls

Either way he's better with gloves than mushfiq and better bat than Ullah

Don't mind Nurul either though

[adamnsu]

Even Kayes was a better wicket keeper than Mushfiqur. Although it later resulted iin cramp ☺

that's good. he will never get out in the slip cordon and will almost never edge it to the keeper. so pretty safe choice

[aklemalp]

So when Liton fails with the gloves, someone else's name will be lifted up as the chosen one...

Then he'll fail...and the game of musical chairs will continue.

Chose the right guy.

Disagree. Liton is tailor made for test. He ll shine in test definitely. Hehasthe mind set to play big innings. Wicket keeping is better than mushi.

[bujhee kom]

Not the used old pair of gloves, guys...new pair of gloves chai, notun gloves...
Otherwise,
a. they won't fit, too small...b. tel tele ghaamer khub baajey ekta gondho thakbey...

how good is Liton as a WK ? don't tell me he is better than Mushy because anyone is better than Mushy.
Nurul recently scored a hundred in BCL, right? scored some useful runs against NZ.
Nannu said Nurul is better WK than Liton.
I understand Liton is most probably a better batsman than Nurul but what we can not afford is another not so good WK at the expense of getting a better batsman keeper.

Personally I won't mind an excellent wicket keeper who can score some 30s or 40s specially looking at the state of our fielding.

Based on what I have seen (as a fan, not an expert) : Just purely based on wicket-keeping (excluding batting):

Nurul is better than Litton.
Litton is better than Rahim or Anamul.

Personally I am ok with either Nurul or Litton as bother are young and both are decent WK. I have reservation about Anamul as a specialized (and long term) WK.

[MHRAM]

Anamul kept wickets in BPL and was quite good. He has good height too and very agile. Not a bad choice for a keeper.

From what I saw this test match - Mushfiq should not be keeping in tests. Simple. Whoever else is worthy of a being BD test keeper should be in. Drop one of Riyad or Sabbir. This is not complicated.

Only way he still keeps wicket, is if he's ready to bat #4. And even that is not ideal IMO, but if they feel that it strengthens the team, by adding a Riyad/Sabbit to the batting unit as opposed to some 'keeper, that's fine. But BD needs him to bad at #4. This is stupid logic, and is costing the BD lineup balance and not a few runs.

Mushfiq is the captain. His wife's sister's husband is Riyad. You do the math.

We lost 14 of 15 while he was the captain in ODIs. They Mash took over, the team dynamics changed and we started winning the close ones. We were actually fielding 11 players instead of customary 9. We don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what needs to be done. Coach almost did that before the England series. However, senior players like Shakib and Mash blocked that initiative. That is the inside story.

We have very good keeper-batsman waiting in the wings. They can't get in to the 11 because of politics. Both Liton and Anamul has much higher prospect than 33 average players.

Cmon TE bhai! Do you really think Riyad is in the team because of nepotism?

have you ever seen jack russel, the eng keeper from 90's bat ?

he could not play a ball on the off-side for the love of god, yet scored enough to justify his position in the era of alec stewart. got a 100 against us in the '96 series. the one ganguly and dravid debuted in.

Yes he is! There is no other explanation. If we drop Mullah, Mushy will throw a hissy fit and possibly the other seniors will join him. Because they treat the national team like its adda marar jaiga.

Hi Neel, yes - I am old enough to see Jack Russel's batting. He knew his limitations and played around it. Liton is no Jack Russel. He looked fish out of water in his international appearances.

Decision should be made by the board and mushy will hv to oblige.

[NoName]

Lol lets see if BCB has the spine to do it

[Gowza]

If we want the team to be better, we have to demand a higher standard, we have better keepers than mushy and he consistently makes mistakes, definitely time to remove the gloves from mushy.
