two good things came form the last A team matches 1) we found out momnul is the most consistent of the fringe players and 2) he did a decent job batting at #3. mominul has always been middle order, him batting at 3 in the A team matches and doing well is a positive sign for BD, he can now be an option at the #3 spot which has been a problem spot for so long. the only query i have with mominul batting at #3 is that anamul wants that spot, he's got the domestic record to back him up, he's just world cup but most of the time he did all that as a #3. anamul can open but #3 is probably his best spot. it's already risky to select anamul so early in his career (despite deserving it), usually when a player is picked young they're put in their favourite spot or they are put in one of the easier spots (#5 or #6 for a batsman). opening is a tough ask for anyone. but i'd be willing to try the combination.
