Once upon a time there were two roommates in the Indian MRF academy. The two bolwers returned home after weeks of training. One was a requirement for the national team soon after his training completion, the other was somewhat optional for Mohammedan. The latter was called Shumon and the former was called Chaminda Vaas. And we know the rest....

Morale of the story? What ZeeshanM said is what Chaminda Vaas also told BD pace bolwers.. that they need to change diet and work out heavily to build muscles to be able to bowl consistently. Talent alone cant survive if the frame is non-existent. If you look into the pacers from Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africal, England,, they all have good height, good physique and body mechanics to support their bowling talent. Unfortunately, BD bowlers are not known for their physical fitness compared to other international grade bowlers. Hence, you see Rasel/Nazmul/Talha/Sajid/Safaque like players breaking down in injuries and never gets back to their usual rythm.
