“Soumya has played every format in the last few series. There is no question about his talent. But he has not been consistent in recent times. So we have decided to give him a break. Definitely Soumya is in our plan as he is one of the players playing the pull shot. We hope he will find his form soon,” Minhajul said to the media during the squad announcement at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka Sunday. “Overall we have decided to give him a break. Soumya needs a break from international cricket to get back on track mentally. Keeping consistency is very important for a player. Soumya is a talented player. He has played some fantastic innings for Bangladesh. I hope he will come back strongly soon,” he added. Soumya scored 243 runs in 11 innings last year at an average of 29.3 and strike rate of 89.07.
