I used to be a first division cricketer in Chittagong, and my humble knowledge says his technique is just fine for now in pitches like ours. Abroad, he will unfurl and hone his square of the wicket techniques

The bottomline is, he has been the most consistent batsman in the domestic and performed marginally better than most batsmen in the warm ups. So, he is our best bet to fill up the gap in the middle order. Even Nasir with dodgy technique is doing great, so there's no reason why Shourav can't provided he is mentally as strong as the former. But however well he performs, once Shakib returns, he'll have to move up the order- possibly at 3 or 4. So his real competition is with Anamul/Naeem/SN.
