If Bangladesh are not to not find sombre answers to this then they might need to act on what Pothas said, especially on the part where he mentioned "leaving the team alone" in order to let the players keep on "just playing".
The Bay Oval at the city of Mount Maunganui had cemented a special place in Bangladesh cricket history for having staged the Tigers’ maiden Test victory over New Zealand at the beginning of last year.
The Tigers are leading the hosts 1-0 in the series with a five-wicket win in Napier
Even though the Tigers conceded the preceding three-match ODI series 2-1, a thumping nine-wicket win in the final ODI saw the Tigers end an 18-ODI losing streak in New Zealand. Hence, it is no surprise that a positive ambiance prevails in the Bangladesh camp as they prepare for the T20I series.
Mitchell Santner, who has led both the New Zealand white-ball sides in the past, will be captain in Williamson's absence against Najmul Hossain Shanto-led Bangladesh side.
Despite being named in the original squad, Williamson will undergo further rehabilitation after knee surgery last April, while Jamieson is nursing a hamstring injury, the Black Caps said.
