Unquestionably Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal are solid contenders for the position given their experience, especially on account of Shakib who was the commander for a long time till August 2011. In the present situation, in any case, time (all the more decisively the absence of it) between Bangladesh's last Test against Pakistan that finished on May 9 and their next one, beginning on June 10, is helping Mushfiqur remain focused occupation. Hassan said there was next to no time to supplant Mushfiqur and that he couldn't discover somebody who could be made the new Test commander.
Mushfiqur was sacked as the ODI and T20 skipper in September 2014 subsequent to winning just two amusements out of four Tests, 13 ODIs and seven T20s in nine months, following two years of driving the side with basically accomplishment in the ODIs. Subsequent to supplanting him, Mashrafe Mortaza changed the substance of Bangladesh's constrained overs side with a 5-0 win over Zimbabwe in November a year ago, a World Cup quarterfinal complete prior this year and the 3-0 and 1-0 wins over Pakistan a month ago.
In the new part captaincy time, Mushfiqur drove Bangladesh to a 3-0 Test arrangement win over Zimbabwe in October-November a year ago, however it is the 1-0 misfortune to Pakistan a month ago that has brought up issues about his position as the skipper. His greatest oversight was letting Pakistan free, twice.
Mushfiqur had acquired a group with a level of certainty that was uncommon in Bangladesh cricket. He could have kept the weight on their recently defanged guests by picking a more grounded knocking down some pins assault in the first Test. Since Shakib had effectively said he would need time to bowl in long spells and the assault would incorporate a debutant pace bowler, the determination of Shuvagata Hom in front of Jubair Hossain looked cautious.
Mushfiqur said in front of the Test match that they were hoping to take 20 wickets to win, yet he didn't specify to what extent it would take them. On account of the Khulna Test, the initial ten wickets took them 168.4 overs.
Additional astounding were the three choices in front of the second Test, and the clarifications that accompanied them. On a Mirpur wicket that had some grass on it, Bangladesh picked just two cutting edge pace bowlers in Mohammad Shahid and Shahadat Hossain. On the off chance that the aim was to utilize the early help, they ought to have likewise added Abul Hasan to the blend. Rather Mushfiqur chose to handle first with the two pace bowlers. Shahadat's harm in the first over implied that Shahid was an one-man assault rocking the bowling alley 41 overs in the match.

Toward the end of the Test match, Mushfiqur said the purpose for leaving grass on the wicket and letting pace bowlers have more cause was because of feedback of the Khulna pitch for being too moderate and not offering an outcome.
Mushfiqur released the two-man pace assault hypothesis by saying considered the military medium of Soumya Sarkar as the third crease alternative. Soumya was given only one over in the past Test while having rocked the bowling alley only seven overs in ten ODIs. The last time he had played more than ten overs in a top notch diversion was in February 2014.
As a wicketkeeper and batsman, as well, Mushfiqur had a horrendous time in the two Tests. It began with a delicate release in the first innings of the first Test when he hit a discover to cover subsequent to making 32. He went ahead to drop two direct gets inside of the initial 35 overs of Pakistan's answer. While dropping the second catch, he sprained his right ring finger and left the field for whatever remains of the innings. Bangladesh had very nearly spared the Test when he turned out to bat on the fifth day and made a five-ball duck.
Mushfiqur said he would battle with the finger harm in the second Test. Bangladesh had the decision of giving the wicketkeeping obligations to Litton Das who was in the 14-man squad however Mushfiqur, as one of the individuals who chooses the playing XI, needed to proceed as wicketkeeper, batsman and chief. Amid the two Pakistan innings, there were cases when he was unmistakably uncomfortable in the wake of social event the ball. He made only 12 and 0 in the amusement, finishing it as his fourth most exceedingly terrible two-match Test arrangement regarding runs scored.
The BCB president additionally said Mushfiqur will be asked, sooner rather than later, to pick in the middle of captaincy and wicketkeeping in the more extended adaptation. In the event that he surrenders the gloves even briefly, the selectors don't have a prepared substitution. Anamul Haque doesn't yet have the wicketkeeping or batting accreditations in Test cricket. Mohammad Mithun was unconvincing a year ago in the ODIs and T20s. Among the uncapped wicketkeepers, the selectors have picked Litton in the squad and he is one for the future, however surely not somebody considered sufficient to supplant Mushfiqur behind the stumps or else he would have in the second Test against Pakistan.
The BCB, be that as it may, could consider swapping him as commander for the two Tests against South Africa in July. Maybe that is sufficiently long time to bite over the applicants. Shakib remains the group's best cricketer and ought to be the first decision in light of the motivation he evoked for the vast majority of his two-year rule. Tamim is Mushfiqur's present agent and can make a case for the occupation as well, yet he has said he needs to take in more about the employment.
The inquiry remains whether its too early to ease Mushfiqur of the Test captaincy. Previous Bangladesh chief Gazi Ashraf Hossain has as of late said censuring Mushfiqur was unjustifiable given the bowling assault he has needed to work with. The other contention that Ashraf advance was that the substantial reliance on the mentor in the Bangladesh group's setup. It is difficult to disregard the way that Chandika Hathurusingha has a noteworthy say in cricketing matters. At the same time, it is difficult to envision Mushfiqur not having a say either.
At the point when BCB part the captaincy, there were apprehensions that Mashrafe, Mushfiqur, Shakib and Tamim structure a cumbersome administration bunch. At the point when piece of the part was fruitful in the constrained overs position, there was trust that Mashrafe's prosperity would rub off on Mushfiqur. Anyhow, as the two Tests against Pakistan have indicated, he needs to experience an adjustment in attitude and after that trust his partners can be impacted by it. A Bangladesh group that is pushing forward now needs a Test chief who mirrors the group's new mindset. Mashrafe has indicated he has it. Mushfiqur hasn't
