shakib is recognised as a quality player, the reason no one makes a big deal about it is because he's in the BD team which people take less seriously and also because on the BD team there aren't as many quality players as other teams. although some of the teams atm are pretty horrible e.g. pakistan, WI, SA batting in ODIs, australia in general etc, NZ.
but yeah, i reckon part of the reason why shakib isn't talked about as much is simply because he's on the BD team. if he was on another team and had achieved what he has done so far at his age then there would be a lot more hype about him imo.
