Rubel ok, drop him, and with rabbi
But Roy has a strong domestic record and he's got excellent fundamentals, hes big and strong
Young players will risk injury fielding and bowling in test matches
People scoffed at me for saying mustafizur is getting over bowled and will get injured, guess what happened
These young players need developing through shorter formats and a tours, not tests

Akram 19, younis 18, McGrath 23, walsh 22, Marshall 20, Lillee 22, Hadlee 22, Steyn 21, holding 21.
Currently taskin 22, fizz 21, saifuddin 20, Abu hider 21.
These guys can play, they aren't to young. The problem is there is more focus on gym training, instead of running. Fast bowlers need to play matches and need to do a lot of running for training. Too much focus on gym now and fixation on pace has lead to injuries.
I'm not going to go through them all but:
Steyn FC debut was 2003, test debut 2004.
Marshall FC debut 77/78, test debut 1978.
Hadlee FC debut 71/72, test debut early 1973.
Lillee FC debut 1969/70, test debut early 1971.
Wasim and waqar are similar to the above.
