As reported by ICC, the 27-year-old has shown faith in the players currently present in the national set-up for more than 5 years, stating that everything comes under a 'process' and that, they must 'stay committed to the long-term vision'.

"Currently, there are six to seven players in the team who have been playing international cricket for 7-10 years. They can’t be considered new anymore. It’s a process. We must make decisions now and stay committed to the long-term vision. With two to two-and-a-half years left until the World Cup, we need to start preparing the team immediately. Consistency in selection is key. Starting preparations just two or three months before the tournament will make it very difficult," said Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
