So this is how Ziaur Rahman "Jony" becomes the latest "all rounder" in a long line of "hiru-2-jiru" players.
His military mediums, not at all a rocket science BTW, were very effective in one T20I match as are his courageous but nonetheless blind slogs when he connects 2 out of 10 times. But how long before he's figured out by international batsmen and bowlers? Ask Mushfiq Babu and the significantly more capable Farhad Reza about their rise and fall and you'll know why.
Zia is a temporary solution at best as long as he remains a mystery. Potentially better seamers with genuine batting ability will replace him as soon as they learn to bowl more accurately without compromising better pace and swing, and fight through being rattled as they will surely be on many occasions, and come back strong. Both Raju and Babu and even Reza, "Dolar", Robin and Tapash fit that bill.
Koushik and even Shuhash can do what Zia can better and with a higher success rate. My two cents.
