There should not be any difficulties. They should take a leap out of Eion Morgan's book and learn something from him. Its not about the transition or the sudden switch that matters, its the application and the dedication, and the focus to do it. The guy was playing in T20 one day, catches a flight the next and then scores a brilliant 196 to push his way back to the national team.

For all that matter, our boys would start a new season against the easiest of opponents they could have wished for. If we haven't played for 14 months, they didnt for about 6 years !! All of our boys have test experience, they have very few or almost none. Tamim, Imrul and Co have played test matches before and knows how to handle the tricks of the trade. Its not something they'd have to learn afresh.

We should stop the culture of finding excuses and start performing on the field.
Perfectly put...word by word.
