If we want to know how good Bangladeshi players can get we need to compare them with the best player from a similar background till date. I feel that player is none other than Sourav Ganguly (Avg 42 Test, 41 ODIs). If we look at the best BD player of Ganguly's generation the player we see is Habibul Bashar (Avg 34 Test at peak, 21 ODIs) who is way off having played most of his games against Zim. Players from this generation seem to be doing better for BD.
Now the question is can we produce a better player than Ganguly??!! We might produce someone better or close enough but one Ganguly won't be enuff for a team!!
