They are all test cricket newbies! Ash has shown "potential" for eight years now. Has he harnessed that potential? Hell no! Imrul, Junaid and Rock have time on their side to demonstrate that they have the ability to shine at this level. Ash has squandered eight years! If those three underperform for a year then, sure, drop them. But you can't take away a spot from an up and coming cricketer just to have Ash on the team. He's had a guaranteed spot in the team for long enough and has done no justice to the faith put in him. Time for us to move on. Let's stop living in the past. Let's look forward and groom new talent. It's time we learned to cut our losses and consider alternative investments.
