In his analysis, he pointed to the following facts:

01. Lack of Practice matches. According to him, Bangladesh need to play atleast two or three practice matches before a test series.

02. Most of our national players do not have adequate first class matches under their belts.

03. Facing pace attack just for the first 15-20, Bangladesh batsmen then face SLA attack majority of the time in the first class matches they play. He attributed this fact as a reason of Tiger's cluelessness against Vaas-Malinga-Fernando.

04.In addition to our players incapability to play bouncer and moving balls, he (surprizingly) believes that lack of senior players in the ODI squad is one of the reasons of Bangladesh's 3-0 defeat in the ODI series.

05. According to him, Mohammad Ashraful is still not ready for the captaincy.
