Our selectors are like kids who love to take their new toys out of the packing. While there is no doubt we dont have much choice, we could have opted for Enamul Jnr (Who was the third higest wicket taker; and has been doing it season after season) and shielded Taijul for a couple more seasons. They have all the tolerance in the world for guys like Razzak, but Enamul has one bad game, and shove him out for 2-3 years.
Thing about pushing youngsters out so early is, international cricket hits em like a brick wall. Once confidence is dented, they have a hard time recovering. Also it gives younger players an illusion its very easy to get into the team and stay there.
But i sincerely hope Taijul takes a different path from Gazi, the Sunny's etc.
