selectors have been ignoring shuvo for awhile, i'm not sure what he has to do to get a call-up, they barely even call him up to the squads. they should at the very least acknowledge that he's in their thoughts by selecting him for squads more often. since he hasn't been selected very much i have to think that they aren't looking at him as a serious long term prospect.

correct. I wonder why? Shuvo should be tested sooner than later. He has done enough in all phases- U19 to NCL.
