Who do you think should be our next Pilot? He is going to be very hard to replace!
Here is his profile: http://www.cricinfo.com/db/PLAYERS/BDESH/K/KHALED_MASHUD_25002201/
A wicketkeeper not far from the Kaluwitharana mould, Khaled Mashud is a free-striking batsman whose matchwinning six against Kenya in the final of the 1997 ICC Trophy did much to raise his country's profile. He is also capable of digging in, as shown by his stand of 93 with Aminul Islam in the inaugural Test against India. Although he is good keeper standing up, he drops the odd ball off the seamers. He was saddled with the captaincy, too, when Naimur Rahman was jettisoned after the home defeat by Zimbabwe in November 2001. But he was powerless to halt Bangladesh's woeful run of form, and quit after their humiliation at the 2003 World Cup, but remained a pivotal figure in the side. His finest hour, however, came in St Lucia in June 2004, when his unbeaten second-innings century secured Bangladesh a draw in their first-ever Test in the Caribbean.
