Liton working on to rectify his problems, says coach Sohel

Dhaka, 16 Feb -Sohel Islam who is supervising the Bangladesh Tigers camp at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, said Liton Das, has already started an intensive works to rectify his problems after being left out of the Champions Trophy squad.

Even though Liton did considerably well in the Bangladesh Premier League
(BPL), a T20 tournament, his ODI returns were worrisome, a fact that
contributed in his axing from the national team.

After the BPL, Liton joined Bangladesh Tigers camp, where he would make him
ready again for the national team by solving his problems.

"We are talking about different things. Mainly we talked about how can we
help to make the things smoother," Sohel Islam who was seen in long
discussion with Liton during the Bangladesh Tigers training camp told the
reporters today.

"Liton is struggling in one-day format but his struggle is temporary. He was
in nice rhythm before suffering from a slump," Sohel said adding that he
thinks some adjustments will make Liton perfect again.

"A cricketer naturally goes through some problems in some point of his
career. You just need to sort out that problems and work accordingly. We have
found that out and started working on that."

The Bangladesh Tigers camp is a specialized coaching camp which included the
players who are out of the national team alongside the promising players.

It began today and will continue until February 25 with 21 cricketers.

Alongside Liton, Mominul Haque, Shamim Patwari, Afif Hossain and others were
also started off season training.

"What the coaching staff wants from national player is very important. That's
why communication is important," Sohel said.

"We are staying aligned for that. If any player goes from the Tigers camp to
the national team, we want him to be a ready product. Our program is planned
basically by keeping the national team in mind."

The players will leave the camp once they start their training with the local
clubs for the Dhaka Premier League (DPL), which starts in the first week of
March.
