Constant igornance to a performer might result a negative impact on upcoming players.
Then litton should be taken, mosaddek did well last season, a couple of bad matches this season shouldn't stop his selection... if you're going off this season guys like liton and even shamsur and imrul have reasons to be selected ahead of naeem, not just because of strike rate but also because of runs scored and consistency all combined.

Strike rate has to be within the criteria when selecting for shorter formats, select naeem and you're saying a 60 strike rate in one dayers is fine as long as you score decent runs but the reality is it isn't good enough so the standard shouldn't be dropped and it would be when picking naeem because of the strike rate.

We want a batsman who can average 35 and strike at 80+ are we confident naeem can do this in the World Cup?
