Al Amin hasn't been threatening either, just shows that even if your are ok in shorter formats doesn't mean you'll transfer it to the longer format. Actually would be better to pick any pace prospect instead of continuing with rubel.
They're all the same IMO. The only pacers that were really Test level were Mash and Shahadat. We know what happened to Mash and Shahadat had the goods but lacked the discipline.

Robiul looked promising but recently showed he wasn't fit enough.

Our pacers can hold up okay in ODIs but in Tests they become useless. It's a systematic problem. Our pacers just don't bowl enough long spells and hence they all have horrific averages. They just aren't conditioned to bowl in Tests. Hate to say this but I've just accepted the fact that our pacers will just make up the numbers but not do much.
