Rahim, however, has insisted that he doesn't want to keep wickets in T20Is anymore. "There has been a change. Initially, after speaking to Mushy, he was going to keep after the second game. But he told me he probably doesn't want to keep wickets in T20s anymore, so we have to move on," Domingo said. "I don't think Mushfiqur's desire to keep in this format is great anymore. We have to focus on Sohan (Nurul) and possibly let him do those duties going into the competition."
