Bangladesh’s leading wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim tries his luck as leg-spinner at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Tuesday.

Members of the batting unit fulfilled the role of bowlers while the bowling unit members enjoyed their time with the willow at the center-wicket.

Mushfiqur bagged all the spotlight with his leg spin  when the cricketers went on to complete the net session after the break following their intense fielding session.

'Watch out for the new leggie in town. Ready if the captain needs me,' Mushfiqur was quoted on his official Facebook on Tuesday.

Tamim Iqbal though did not bowl but was seen remaining busy giving batting tips to some tail-enders as they came out from the net.

In the recent past tail-enders were seen making contribution with the bat and Tigers team management looked determined to that into account and make sure they also get a similar service from the bowlers.

'Today we [ bowlers] had batting session and we enjoyed it while we had substantial amount of time in the nets,' Taskin Ahmed told media after the training session on Tuesday.

'We have to take up the challenge [of batting] because if we want to support the batsmen we have to improve,' he said.

'So we are trying and we feel we have certainly improved and we are hopeful that in the coming days tail-enders will fare better,' he said.
