"The team management had asked for a batsman to replace Shakib for the first two ODIs, so we picked Mominul," said Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief selector http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Akram-Khan-c42577 while speaking to media reporters after naming Haque as veteran Shakib’s reinforcement.
"He has been batting well for the last one and a half years, but I feel it’ll be wise not to have too many expectations of him because he is new. We’ll only want him to do things that a batsman does," added the BCB chief selector.
