Such is the situation that Bangladesh may be forced to field a half-fit Mustafizur Rahaman. On injury status of Mustafizur Rahman, Mortaza said, "Even if he is at 20 per cent, he has to play. We don't have any players." Asked whether Shuvagato Hom Chaudhury and Saqlain Sajib are suitable replacements for Taskin and Aarafat, Mortaza said they are very much capable, but there is a stark difference between in-form players and novices at international level. "The two replacements are very much capable, but the point is that someone who is in form in international cricket, and someone who is coming into international cricket - these are two different things. I think both Taskin and Sunny have been brilliant; Hom and Sajib will surely do their best," he said. Asked about the plans against Australia, Mortaza said the team has been playing good cricket in the last one and a half years, but they did not play as good as they played in Asia Cup.
