I dont like the idea of people finding their form playing international matches. A team like ours shouldn't have the luxury of playing with 10.5 men on the field no matter who the opposition is...
We lost the first game by only 8 runs...so who knows what would have happened had Rubel played?..he might have picked wickets and might have given 9 runs less

Unless u r Wasim Akram or Glen Macgrath... no one should walk into an International match after two months long injury without having sufficient overs under their belt. International matches are very important.. We had Rubel who was the man of the match in the last game of the series... and yet we played Mashrafi who was clearly rusty in the first 2 games... It didn't matter much because the opposition was zimbabwe...but had it been a strong side... his awful spells would have made the difference between winning or losing...
Management should have played Mash in the BCB XI game and picked him based on his current form...not reputation...
