We need stability in the Test team. Recalling a 30 yo to play for just 3-4 years (if that) is just going to leave a void when that player retires or loses form.
Its also highly unlikely that guys like Nafees, Anam, Junaid have improved their significant technical flaws while out of the national team given we've had no A team tours in the past couple of years, and even when we have, half of them have been against Zimbabwe.
Those players all have limited ceilings, and more to the point are OLD. Anam gets a pass due to his age, but Naeem Islam, Ashraful, Jaharul, Marshall Ayub, Shamsur Rahman, etc have missed the boat, IMO.
We need young players 25 and under who already have the technique and tools to survive as it is. We have a big enough player base to do that.
Guys who are scoring a 1000 runs per year...well the Mosaddeks are already doing that at a far earlier age.
Just my opinion.

This age mentality is so rubbish,Chris Rogers played for a till he was 38. Are the selectors smoking weed, you can't have 20 year olds, playing test. This format is more real men who have experience, unless you have serious talent you should not be near the test side until you are at least 25-27 and scored heavily in domestics and FC.
Players like SN, Junaid,Tushar are in their prime, and they are being ignored for stupid fan favorites such as Soumya who is a hack in all wickets. Players like Soumya wouldn't even make the A teams in national sides.
If being a 30 year old is considered OLD for you. Then I don't know what to say.
