Let Imrul bat at no. 1 position

It all started with the 2016 T20 World Cup when Imrul Kayes lost his place in the national cricket team to an unknown Mohammed Mithun. That “experiment” was a failure, but experiments have continued. Despite his excellent record in Tests as an opening batsman, in partnership with Tamim Iqbal, which includes a triple-century stand, Kayes was recently asked to bat at no. 3 position. He was not obviously happy about that and his subsequent performances showed just why so. This was done to establish Soumya Sarkar as Tamim's partner. Soumya as a free-flowing attacking batman, like Sabbir Rahman, is better suited in no. 6/7 position. Mominul Haque with his outstanding average batting at no. 3 position was asked to bat at no. 4 and 8. These ad-hoc changes have sapped the confidence of the top-order batsmen.
