5 reasons why Bangladesh struggle in overseas conditions 

#1 Over-dependence on spinners

Mehedi Hasan has struggled away from home

When a team travels outside the subcontinent, spinners usually come into play very late in the game and hence Bangladesh's army of spinners cannot quite influence the game in any meaningful way.

At home, the spinners have been excellent over the past few years and Bangladesh have become a tough side to beat, but it is a different story away from home. Only Shakib Al Hasan's average in away Tests is similar to what he has at home (32.24 at home v 32.65 overseas) but the other bowlers struggle to make much of an impact.

Mehedi Hasan, for instance, averages 66.43 (19.7 at home) and has a strike rate of 103.7 (32.7 at home). The story is the same for other spinners as well and if Bangladesh cannot find an alternative to spin, then they will continue to struggle when they play outside their comfort zone.
