Can favourite foe reignite Mushfiqur’s form?

Nazmul Abedeen Fahim watches over the shoulder of his tutee, Mushfiqur Rahim, as the batter prepares at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium yesterday ahead of Bangladesh's upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka. Mushfiqur, considered one of Bangladesh's batting mainstays, has been going through a lean patch in Tests recently, averaging just 26.22 in his last five outings. The seasoned campaigner will be keen to get back to rhythm and the 34-year-old must be excited at the prospect of facing his favourite opponents in the format against whom he has scored his career's first double ton and also boasts an average of 45.34.
