I for one have been a vocal critic of Ashraful's 'automatic selction' in the past despite his run of poor form.

However, I feel that he can reinvent himself as a permanent fixture in the T20 as a starting point and will welcome him gladly into the ODI and Test fold should he turn out to the right choice.

Ashraful, unfortunately, did not have the option that Afridi had in declaring himself a bowler first and not a batsman. Ashraful's biggest mistake may have been hitting a century in his debut that brought unfounded expectations on him. He should have been left alone to develop his own style through trial and error rather than being forced into being a Tendulkar which he obviously was/is not.
