Its time to baptize Anamul, Soumya, Taskin (though he can perhaps wait one more season), and Mominul and possibly Asif Ratul. They must be given at least 10 Tests and 20 ODIs to prove themselves and if they fail, bring on the next crop. Rinse and repeat till we "win the cup" as ATMR would say.

We have NO other option. Enough of this pansy a$$ cowardice of "grooming" so and so like he's a hollywood pooch and and fear mongering of them "not being ready" like they're sweet sixteen virgins who need a tanker full of KY on prom night.
It's like doing the same things over and over and expecting different result....

We have so many other things to do, to ensure that the same guys are well prepared and increase their chances of success.
