I agree. But once again Gazi is a specialist spinner, even though he is in terrible form now. While Riyad is the specialist batsmen. So whenever team needs to balance, we pick Gazi/Riyad based on other players.
It's just sad that an once promising player like him, who was our best player in WI away series win, a very recent VC, now fights his spot with Gazi and his spot is determined after the combination of other 10.
I'll blame him mostly for it. There was a time we badly needed solid top/middle order players. We tested with Siddiqui, Jahurul and then threw in Momin, Anamul, Marshall batch. As a senior player and also as a VC, he never even bothered to take more responsibility.
My frustration is that he is a much better player than Gazi but due to lack of something will never reach his potential.
