In light of the recent player exodus, I am concatenating a list of all first class domestic cricketers in Bangladesh available for selection in the national team. I have included all potential national team prospects who have performed domestically or internationally over the past 4 years (since our u-19 plate win) and have shown glimpses of promise that will take our cricket to the epitome of international cricket within a decade.
I have intentionally left out players like Faisal Hossain Decans, Anwar Hossain, Hannan Sarkar, Mushfiq Babu- because I find it hard to believe they will make a comeback in the international stage. Golla and Pilot are not included because it looks like the board has retired them.
I am requesting our resident BC domestic cricket experts (SohelNR, Miraz, Eshen, etc) to please include any player I may have missed or overlooked.

From the above list, I have comprised a preliminary squad of 30 which we should stick with till the 2011 world cup (barring exceptional performances). As of now, 24 of these players are in the training camp for the New Zealand series-
[*NOTE- Removed Tushar from the list below and added Nazmul Hossain Milon- this guy can fill the role of seamer-allrounder that we are desperately looking for. He is also an extremely clean hitter and so far remains consistent in the domestic circuit. Lets see what he does for the academy (when given the chance). I also have great hope for Shubhashish.]

(I know there have been a lot of similar threads but I just thought it would be a good idea to have all these lists in one place and hopefully we can update them from time to time as our team performances get better. On another note, I have been around BC for a long long time, mostly as an observer- but this is my first official thread. So forgive the sheer enormous length of my writing/compiling. Got a little carried away there
