Bangladesh wicket-keeper batsman Liton Das kicked out journalists from the hotel during the ODI World Cup in India. Before and after this, he made headlines for saying strange things in the media. Not only in the media, but from teammates to the outside world, Litton is introverted or reserved.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Director and Game Development Committee Chairman Khaled Mahmud Sujan advised him to get out of these. Khaled Mahmud faced the media at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Sunday (April 7). At this time, he advised Liton to be open minded with everyone.
Khaled Mahmud said, ‘Liton has become a bit of a senior player, a bit of a reserve, as he was from childhood. You have to get out of them. I think he needs to work on them.’
‘I don’t want to say the behavioral thing. I want to say that mixing with everyone, giving cricket some time is very important. I know everyone has a professional life, even her. Lytton was never married, now married, family, everything. But cricket is his profession. Spending some more time here, giving time to cricket’ added Khaled Mahmud.
Liton was dropped due to poor performance in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Played in the Dhaka Premier League. Then he went to Sylhet to play Test again. He was also unsuccessful in the first Test in Sylhet, and could not take advantage of the second Test (4 and 38). This time Dhaka League also wanted a break, Abahani’s coach did not hesitate to give a break.
Khaled Mahmood believes that Liton will return to his form soon, ‘Cricket is a game of mentality. Liton’s technique has not changed, tactically there may be a change in thinking. When a player like Lytton feels he needs a break. It should be respected. I believe he will come back stronger.’
