Mosaddek himself scored 75 from 160 something deliveries and guess what Dean Jones and Roshan Abheysinghe said, Mosaddek is good enough to bat as a top order batsman. He has the maturity to bat up the order. He literally smashed Herath over extra cover for 6, how many batsman in test cricket have done that against Herath in his debut match? He would have got a century if he had support but he was losing out on partners and became the last wicket to fall.

In his 2nd test Mosaddek played one rash shot in both innings combined, and he suddenly has to make his way for a pretender who averages 26 in Tests and doesn't bowl.

Before I used to think Haturi was the big genius behind everything, but not it looks like the senior players and team management has some people who don't understand the C of cricket.
Let's not forget the second innings of that first test, yh he didn't score much, but he's the one who came and took control and released pressure, Mushfiqur got himself in a hole like today and it was matter of fine before he got out and we collapsed to a loss, Mosaddek knew it, so he took over as soon he got in, Eventhough he got out cheap, mushfiq stopped suffocating at the other end by the time mossadek got out

I've been a big critic of him in ODI cricket, he's not good enough yet, certainly not down the order, but he should definitely be in the test team, especially now with no Shakib
