Much has been said about Bangladesh cricketers' ability to handle the external issues, especially concerning those who either go through an extended lean patch or become out-of-favour from the national side.

Many believe those external issues, mainly the criticism on the social media, create a huge psychological impact on the players. 

Bangladesh A team captain Mohammad Mithun, however, said today that he had enough time to handle those things.

"There is always a lot of buzz surrounding Bangladesh cricket. If I can't handle that, I won't be able to play cricket. You have to have the mental fortitude to handle it," said Mithun during a press conference today.

"I had enough time to deal with this. I returned after getting time, and have been playing. Now I've been given a duty. My full focus is on how to give my best here. What happens anywhere else is not my concern, and I don't care about it," he said when asked about social media trolling.  

The right-hander will lead the second-string Bangladesh side in the West Indies tour, where they will play two four-dayers and three one-day matches.

The first four-day game will be played on August 4, followed by the second four-day game on August 10. The three-match one-day series will be played on August 16, 18 and 20, respectively.

All the games are scheduled to be played at the St. Lucia's Darren Sammy Cricket Ground with Bangladesh A set to depart for West Indies tomorrow.

"We are going to represent Bangladesh. It is the second-best team in Bangladesh. Hopefully we can do well there," said a confident Mithun.
