Al-Furqaan has almost got it right in his last post. Despite their obvious limitations, selectors dont have it easy either picking a BD Test squad. We hardly have any viable replacements for the like of Sir. Ashdafool. Also, in our context, it would be almost blasphemous to even ponder of dropping one of the country's most "experienced" and top run-getters in Test over rookies like Mominul or other names flying about here from trigger-happy fans. Some of the pundits here need to realize that there is a HUGE gulf between Test cricket and our picnic-styled NCL. These next generation of BD Bradmans coudn't even perform consistently at an U19 WC ( except, Anamul) and they are being advocated for TEST cricket! Do we not have such panache for destroying any buddying careers!
For the selectors, please stop using T20, ODI stats for Test cricket and vice verse as the main criterion...once and for all!
