The fielder on the field is one less; Let one be brought down. The batsman is late to come; Let one be dropped off anywhere. Soumya Sarkar has also become a 'milk-and-rice' cricketer in the Bangladesh national team. He is called in as a 'temporary' replacement whenever team management is needed. Where there are gaps. This is how the career of the Soumya Sarkar has been going on for the last few years.
In the last ODI series against the West Indies, he was in the team as a middle order batsman. It can also be called lower middle order.
He had a chance to bat in one match. It would be wrong to say that Saumya was only considering the middle order. He was also in the team as an alternative to the top order. Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das opened the ODI series. Nazmul Shant batted in three overs. There was no substitute for them in the top order of the team.
In other words, if any of the Tamim-Shantas were dropped due to injury or any other reason, 'Getis' would be given to Soumya. The left-arm batsman was not in the team of 18 again in the Test series. But Sadman was brought out of the team due to injury.
Saif Hasan, who was in the team considering the opener, was kept on the bench. Soumya, who batted in the middle order in the ODI series, was also dropped in the Dhaka Test in the opening. This is rare in Test cricket. In ODIs, an open batsman can always be seen batting in the middle or lower middle.
But it is a matter of research as to when the middle-order batsman last played as an opener in the ODIs without Knight Watchman. But Saumya had to do that in the return test. He has to do a lot more. Batsman Soumya has to try to be a slower medium pacer. In ODI-T20, one has to prepare to bowl two to four overs. There are so many things to try.
What is the benefit of 'laughing' in so many things? You can say goodbye majestic. All that can be said here is that he left the field on Friday after making the first call of his Test career after falling into the trap of this test.
