You need 1 player in the top 4 who can drop the anchor. Unfortunately we dont have any. A lot of our headaches, troubles will be solved if we can find such a player. Anamul showed promise in Under 19. Lets see if he can do this for us.
The problem with Mushy is that he has to worry about keeping and batting. Now he has captaincy to worry about. His potential as a batsman in the Test level won't be fulfilled if he continues to be a keeper in Tests. I feel it's better he takes the gloves off for Tests and bring Dhiman in who is the much better gloveman. Dhiman's done pretty well with the bat in FC's the past year. So we could give him a try. England, SA, and SL have used a Test match wicketkeeper and it's worked well.
