Now did you really just suggest Nazmul (w/o injuries) would have been a candidate for strike-bowler? A 5-9, skinny dude, who bowled at military medium in his best days and had a modicum of seam movement and accuracy as his only ally? Maybe you are thinking of a different bowler?
Ajfar, good point about A. Sunny. Our team management seems to get their strategies from 1920s cricket textbooks.
Tiger444 - excellent point about rigor in FC as being the feeder of T20/ODI squad. In general your statement will hold true. I will point out the caveat that Engerland has one of the best 1st class cricket infrastructure and yet until a now-discarder Saffer played the tournament of his life (20/20 in the Caribbean), they hadn't done anything in limited overs format. Why, because while their players have the skills in general their limited over sides have lacked ambition.
Godzilla - keepers don't always make good slippers. Actually if you think about it, neither AB, or Sanga, when they play as regular outfielders, stand in slips. As a keeper you will actually instinctively go for stuff that interferes with the actual keeper that day.

Yes England has struggled in the shorter formats because they're too strict in their approach which is why Australia will always remain the better shorter format side.
The point of a strong domestic setup is to prepare players for the highest level. Shakib said playing county matches feels like playing Test matches. Enamul JR said Ranji matches also felt like Test matches. Could we say the same about our NCL? Or to a lesser extent the DPL?
Since these competitions let you get away with bad habits, and you can see why our players don't play as smart as other teams because these competitions really fail to expose their weaknesses.
