I don't know if this was said earlier, but what's very encouraging is the fact that the younger players are really making the big scores in the NCL. There's a lot of talk about T20's ruining young cricketers but doesn't seem to be the case with our guys even if it's in domestics. Soumya, Anamul, Mominul, Tasamul, Sohag, Nurul, Mizanur and Asif are the ones I'm talking. Is it a sign that our younger batsmen are better at the art of playing cricket then the older players of BD? It certainly looks like it given the fact that our younger players are the ones who are doing better in international cricket.
The key now is to have these players play extensive Academy and A team cricket so they can do well in not only our grounds but some of the bouncier and sporting grounds. Our young batsmen could really become good players if this happens.
Now let's look at our bowlers, Soumya, Alauddin, Sohag, Sanjamul and Taskin have all done fairly well. The list isn't as extensive as our young batsmen but it's still progress. Again we need to continue to track their progress and focus on nurturing them because they seem like they can play.
