Dooley wants to play Bishwanath as a striker in the next match

Bangladesh coach Tomic Dooley surprised everyone by playing experienced defender Bishwanath Ghosh as a center forward in their opening match of the SAFF tournament, a discussion that started on social media since the previous morning.

Bishwanath, a 27-year-old who had no goals in 196 professional matches prior to yesterday, was tested in this role by Dooley previously before the FIFA ASEAN Cup in September, though he missed out due to injury; after returning before SAFF, he played as a striker against Bhutan and Dooley wants to continue playing him in that position for the next match.
