His stats suggest he is a decent limited overs bowler and should remain so. We need to identify the leading pacers in FC cricket because that is the better measure of how the bowler will perform in tests... Not BPL and not DPL but NCL. Who currently has better strike rate and average than Rubel in FC cricket? Lets make a list of those guys and isolate two promising ones. There has got to be someone who goes for less than 60 runs per wkt and takes less than 92 balls to get a wkt.
Taposh Baisya, Shahadat, and Robiul were the leading wicket takers from the BCL, from the NCL? Mohammad Sharif, Sajedul, and Farhad Reza made the top 15. Now how are those guys doing in the BPL against the best local and international players? Either they don't make the XI or they're getting smacked.

This is the problem we have. The quality of the NCL is just not good enough and these stats are often misleading. This is why in the end we have to work with players that have pure potential. There is a reason why Shafiul, Rubel, and Abul continue to make the national team. If we want to produce better pacers and not have to go through the painful process of seeing them develop through international cricket, then we need better organization and planning of our pacers
