Batting coach Ashwell Prince backs 'fantastically talented' Liton Das to come good.

Bangladesh will keep faith with Liton Das as they push for him to get back into form during the T20 World Cup. After registering 16 and 1 in the warm-up matches, Liton scored five against Scotland and or six against Oman in their first games in the tournament.

 Liton low scores hurt Bangladesh's starts in the powerplay. Soumya Sarkar failed in the first game, and with Liton getting out cheaply twice, they have had to resort to batting out the powerplay to avoid further damage. "I think at the moment he wants to get a start," said Ashwell Prince, the team's batting coach. You think when you are labelled as the best batsman in your generation; sometimes it can be a burden on your shoulders.

 "He is an extremely talented player. I think everyone is waiting for him to burst out and be the player that we know he can be. All the coaches are trying to assist him as much as possible. We believe in him. We trust him. Hopefully, there will be a bigger stage in a week to express himself." Bangladesh's shock loss to Scotland in the first game prompted an unprecedented batting order reshuffle.

\ Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim were sent to No. 7 and 8, respectively, while Mahedi Hasan, Nurul Hasan and Afif Hossain were given promotions. Though such changes often happen in franchise cricket, Bangladesh has usually been reasonably rigid in their batting positions. Prince said that the batters must be ready for flexibility, and they are often aided.
