Soumya in T20Is is a good idea. But not at all sure about Shubhagoto in the format just yet. Hom's the type of player who likes to get his eyes in by rotating the strike with ease. Once that happens, his shot selection becomes high percentage because he doesn't feel rushed to hit anything other than a safely hittable ball while scoring at a brisk SR. Ideal ODI player that way, batting between 5 and 7.
Having said that, he has a tendency to play premeditated and low percentage shots when either bogged down or rushed. Both will happen in T20Is as well as tests. I think ODIs should be the gateway format for him, and once he gains experience there and learns from them, he can be considered for tests and T20Is.
BTW, the players we're talking about may cause Hefazat-e-Islam to add another demand to their list, and a fresh new round of sectarian cleansing while their apologists blame the ruling party for everything. Fair warning.
