I dont know why one would even consider mahmud for the ODI squad? I mean, what has he done but to occupy a spot miserably that can go to Mushfiq? I won't even mention his worthiness in the test squad. that point should be mute. If he warrants a spot in the squad solely because of his leadership skills, I am afraid not much can be said about the rest. His inclusion will always prevent us from fielding the best possible side. we will always be a bowler or a batsman short because of him. I think its time to move forward and select one capatin whose place in the side is beyond doubt and well cemented in both versions of the game. There will be growing pains. we just have to accept it and prepare for the future..
