Question

Why does Bangladesh management continue to do this non-sense of experimenting with the openers literally before a major tournament or during the tournament.

Happen few times now which keeps causing instability in the lineup and keep messing up what everyone's role is on the team.

They did this a few times now.

1. 2021 T20 WC, Tamim injured, Munim Shariar picked before during the australia/new zealand series and then out of the blue Naim Sheikh gets picked?

2. 2022 Asia cup, loses opening match think Naim Sheikh and Anamul may have been the openers against Afghanistan, then tries Shabbir Rahman and Miraz vs Sri Lanka, still goes on to lose the match.

3. 2023 Asia cup, Litton has fever, Tamim out with injury, out of the blue Naim Sheikh gets chance just because of "great domestic season", flames out, chokes/gags completely in 4 games.

4. 2023 world cup (Other Tamim drama with Shakib/MGMT blah blah blah etc) Brings Tanzid Tamim in and thrusts him right into opener as savior and has completely flopped on the move.

As a bonus they also did this in 2018 asia cup with Mehidy with Liton when Tamim was playing with one hand but that was understandable due to the situation.
