The Tigers have four openers in their squad for the West Indies series and all of them - Tamim Iqbal, Liton Kumar Das, Imrul Kayes and Soumya – are in good touch recently. But surprisingly, the Tigers chose to pick all four openers in the playing XI in the first match. “Soumya can bat in many positions. Mithun can also play shots but Soumya can bowl a few overs at the middle if the spinners fail due to dew factor. With the World Cup looming on the horizon, the captain believes three of these four will vie for the first three positions in the batting line-up.
