Most of the Bangladeshi players in the above list, may be except Ash, are most likely couple of years older than their stated age. IMO, more than their young age, their inability to evolve in the international stage is the prime factor why they failed after their early successes. They enjoyed their initial success as they were unknown to opposition bowlers. Some of them even shocked the other teams (triple A are prime examples here) with their audacious stroke-plays. But once the opposition bowlers figured them out, they found it hard to get going. I call it Hannan/SN syndrome.
Tamim is an exception here as he has managed to keep evolving his stroke-play in last four years.
