Can Bangladesh avoid 'Comedy of Errors' at Eden Gardens

Amateur captaincy, strange squad, wired decisions within the ground and ghostly batting were the main feat of Bangladesh during Indore Test, in which Mominul Haque and co. had assimilated an innings and 130-run defeat against host India. It took two and a half days to produce the result!
The current Bangladesh side is looking as if more vulnerable than the maiden Test squad in 2000. Sudden sinister-look on Bangladesh cricket has been browning eyes to the sustainability of the countries cricketing prospect. The instability at every cricketing spheres of the country, cool communications among all cricket-stakeholders and patchy information flow have been showing the fading days of the Bangladesh cricket.
Recent inner unrests grew tension among all cricket whizzes. The cricketers, who are in the heart of the entertainment of countrymen, are rarely seen to smile now. Pressure, fear and frustration were visible on the face of every performer of the team during recent games.
The new skipper Mominul Haque had created much mouth-watering topics in his maiden clash as captain. He decided to bat first keeping two quick in the playing eleven at a grassy wicket in Indore! Bangladesh were bowled out for 150 runs in the 1st innings and were packed for 213 in the 2nd innings. But India declared their only innings posting 493 runs on the board costing six wickets. Why that much contrariety between two rival teams?
Inclusion of Mohammad Mithun in the playing eleven also surprised many since he had been going through run draught in longer version format in recent times and had nothing exceptional by the last year to be considered as inevitable part of the Test team.
Uncapped Saif Hasan, who is also a handy off break bowler, has a bright prospect for colour ball cricket of Bangladesh. The boy of 20 years captained Bangladesh under-19 in the recent past, represented Bangladesh emerging and A-team as well and had been phenomenal with both bat and ball. He is a consistent performer in domestic cricket as well. He could be the handy alternative of Mithun for Mominul.
The most startling side of Mominul's leadership in previous Test was his reluctance to communicate with senior team-mates like Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad during fielding and failing to make the right bowling change. Both the in-laws have vast experience of leading at every levels of cricket.
He hardly had seen to discuss with the bowlers about field placements, bowling lengths and other such issues as well. An ODI-style defensive field-setting is another wired area of his captaincy. The specialist bowler with the new balls Mehidy Miraz was brought to bowl in the 40th over for the first time, who got the ball at hand after 20 overs of taking the 2nd new-ball!
The five-day cricket is a champion players' game and mastermind among the available players in a country is always captain the Test side. The Test captain must be the most communicative player of the team. So, picking Mominul as Test captain reveals the weakness of decision makers of the country's cricket.
Soumya Sarkar started to get his rhythm. Calling him back for emerging team is also a very poor decision of Bangladesh cricket authorities.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board need to re-assess current stance of giving emphasize on quality coaches ignoring quality players.
However, the Eden Gardens Test, which will be the first ever pink ball game for both Bangladesh and India, is going to kick off on Friday. The morally downed guests are surely small fry here, in all aspects. The area to watch is, if Bangladesh think tank and Miminul have learnt from the Indore mistakes, or will they take the psychological preparation to succumb in day-3 of the last battle of the tour against the mightiest side in the World. Indian spectators by the way, excepting similar result of Indore in the underlight Test. The CAB confirmed that they could sell out the tickets of initial three days only till November 18.
