This logic is flawed

He leads from the front with the bat, yes, but you don't need to be a captain to do that

His keeping has improved but it's not any better than Litton and certainly miles behind Nurul

He's got 2 right and 8 wrong with the reviews when Smith is going at 50%

Mushfiq has no basic understanding of captaincy, he's not even a good defensive captain, cook was a good defensive captain, so no it's not simply him needing to be more aggressive, he can't understand the flow of the game, he doesn't understand the bowlers needed in particular time, he doesn't understand how to manage a bowlers spell, he can't set a good field, he doesnt have the basic understanding of how to set up a wicket

A good number of posters would be better captains than him ffs
