The lengthy tail of India's batting lineup was exposed again on Sunday and pundits say the team management need to find a solution ahead of the T20 World Cup in West Indies and the United States next year.

Pakistan's underperforming middle-order has been a concern but opener Imam-ul-Haq said they should not experiment with it and should instead go for consistency with only a few one-day internationals (ODI) left before the World Cup later this year.

After a 2-1 defeat in the preceding three-match T20I series, Bangladesh needed to bounce back in their favoured ODI format and Tamim Iqbal and his troops did exactly that, continuing their dominance in the 50-over game in the first of the three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe in Harare yesterday.

Bangladesh Cricket has been struggling with their opening batters for a while now.

Former England batsman Graeme Hick is appointed as Australia's new fulltime batting coach after initially working with the team on a temporary basis.
