Liton Das has been Bangladesh’s highest run-scorer in ODIs since 2019 and demonstrated consistent form across formats last year.

However, as the World Cup approaches, Liton’s recent dip in form has raised concerns, with ODI results not favoring the Tigers.

Despite maintaining an overall average of just under 40 since 2019, accumulating 1508 runs with four hundreds and seven fifties at a strike rate of over 87, Liton’s last ten innings have seen him amass 229 runs at an average of 29.62.

Liton has been actively addressing his form concerns, seeking guidance from his childhood batting mentor. While he showed promise in the Asia Cup, his recovery from injury prevented him from converting good starts into substantial innings.

Addressing the media ahead of the series against New Zealand, Liton emphasized that his confidence as a batter remains intact. He stated,

“I am trying and practicing to find a way. Hopefully, I will be able to make a comeback soon. It’s not a matter of confidence. Let’s see what happens

Regarding external opinions on social media and media platforms, Liton expressed that it does not significantly impact the players. He highlighted that the team is focused on their game and personal lives, leaving little time for such distractions.
