However, BCB director Khaled Mahmud Sujon said that anyone can be an opener. Talking to reporters on Monday, Sujon said, “Recognized openers Bijoy and Emon. But there are many others who have opened in local cricket. It could be Mushfiqur, it could be Shakib. Miraz can also be, and Sheikh Mehedi can also be an opener. We have a lot of options. ’

Sujon feels Shakib’s return to the team is very positive, “We are not doing well, so we are trying to know how to do well. Shakib is back – that’s a very positive aspect. Everyone will admit in one sentence that Shakib is the most experienced in this format. He plays a lot of cricket around the world in this format. ’
