Mushfiq can open in Asia Cup, Afif will get promotion.

T20 Asia Cup 2022 will start on August 27. Where the Tigers will play their first match on August 30 against Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, after a long wait, BCB announced the Asia Cup team a few days ago. Where the world's best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan got the new captaincy. Sabbir Rahman and Saif - Uddin have returned to the team. But there are only two openers on the team. They are young Parbez Hossain Emon and Anamul Haque Bijoy.

So the question of who will be the backup opener is on almost everyone's mind. However, team director Khaled Mahmud Sujon clarified it.

He said that they can open Mushfiq if needed, also they are worried about two Mehedi. Sujan said, "Since we are going with only two openers, we are thinking of a couple of backup openers, including Mushfiqur. He can play spin very well, so he can be played up top. Also, Sheikh Mahadi and Mehidy Hasan Miraj are also capable of playing in this position. .'




Before this Mushfiqur Rahim opened a match against Afghanistan in Mirpur, 2019. But he could not score a single run there. However, Naim sheikh and Sheikh Mahadi did quite well by opening in a match against Australia last year

Miraz has no opening experience in T20 internationals. However, he opened with Litton in one match in the Asia Cup in ODIs



Meanwhile, Sujan also said that Afif's place may also change. The team management is thinking of batting him at number 4. Because his batting average is good and he can hit well. Hence, Afif can also be seen further up, which can be said to be his batting promotion

So what is your opinion? Who will open for Bangladesh in the Asia Cup?
