Mohammad Naim's Bizzare Act

A video was shared by Saif Ahmed, a social media manager at Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) side Rangpur Riders. Saif wrote, 'Mohammad Naim Sheikh working with a mind trainer ahead of Asia Cup,' and also explained Naim's surprise act to fans.

Fans asked the necessity of such an act before the crucial tournament, to which Saif replied it is part of mind training and Taskin Ahmed has also done it in the past.

Mixed Reactions from Fans

A video is making rounds on the internet with fans slamming Mohammad Naim for walking on fire to prepare for the Asia Cup. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced their Asia Cup squad last week with Naim being a surprise inclusion.

Former South Africa cricketer Herschelle Gibbs also took to his Twitter handle to mock the Bangladeshi batter and wondered if he would be walking on water in his next move.

Despite not performing well in recent matches, he showed good form in domestic cricket and has been given another chance based on his international experience.
