So you agree Musfiq lacks the leadership quality that a decent captain needs.
Now will removing Musfiq solved all the problem? No, but it will be a big step to the right direction. When a bad captain leads a good team of players, eventually the team disintegrate. How you address it? First change the captain. And that's what we need to do as a first step.

I kind of disagree. At present Sakib or Tamim will do a good job for now. Their problem is elsewhere, not leadership quality or intelligence that both these quality Rahim lacks.

We have what we have. And the captain should know what we have and how to use it wisely. In fist innings Rahim win the toss and elected to field with the assumption that it will help the FBs during the 1st session. Then he let his FBs bowl 4 overs (with Taskin yet to bowl) and suddenly brought Miraj in the 5th over. And you still think its Haturu Daa or FB's fault? Shouldn't he stick with his own plan a little bit longer?
Also if our bowling is the weak link, then how come we chose 1 batsman more and one bowler short in the the team when we already know that a) Mustafiz is still recovering from injury, b) Two fragile bowler in Taskin and Saiful and no specialized spinner; only with young spinner (Miraj) still learning and trying to be our 2nd spinner. What was the logic behind further weakening your weak link by selection one less bowler?
