Imrul might not be that talented but he works harder than some of the youngsters in our team most definitely and he should be rewarded for that.

Fair enough. Given the alternatives, I suppose it is better to stick with Imrul. My biggest worry is that at the WC where it will definitely be high scoring games whether his style of batting will suit us or not. We need somebody like Soumya who can effortlessly go over the inner ring and get us rapid starts while Tamim plays the anchor. Most times I found that Kayes puts additional pressure on Tamim to up the scoring rate. In that sense, even Liton takes pressure off Tamim by being aggressive.
