he was pretty good in that A team tour though and it was in WI. that along with his incredible domestic run is probably what got him selected, he at least has some experience in WI and good memories from it so he should go into the series on with a positive attitude and that makes a big difference in sport.

i agree the selectors don't always go about selections properly, actually they do it quite poorly most of the time and then they realise what they should have done and implement it at a more difficult time. razzak and gazi have been bad for awhile, selectors should have got taijul into the team earlier but they didn't, still doesn't change that he's our best option atm.

the other thing is A team tours for BD are so few and far between players don't get the opportunity to get enough A team experience before being needed for the national team. again it comes down to structure, the domestic and A team structure is poor and it affects the national team.
