NT Vs Pipeline Spinners

Shakib has 192 FC wickets at an average of 29. Razzak has 197 FC wickets at an average of 30. Elias Sunny has 224 FC wickets at an average of 25.

Arafat Sunny has 209 FC wickets at an average of 22. Saqlain Sajib has 170 wickets at an average of 20. Enamul Jnr is one of the highest wicket takers in FC cricket with 306 victims at an average of 28. Veteran spinner Mosharraf Hossain has 203 FC wickets at an average of 25. Shuvo has 186 FC wickets at an average of 20. Nabil Samad has 219 FC victims at an average of 26.

OS candidates

Sohag Gazi has 76 wickets at an average of 22. All rounder Farhad Hossain is a more potent spinner than frontline all rounders like Riyad, Naeem, Nasir, Kapali. He has 112 FC wicket at an average of 22 (Off topic, Farhad Hossain is also a useful batsman with a healthy average of 35 with the highest score of 216). Yasin Arafat is the only other consistent off spinner with 161 wickets and an average of 28. Highly unlikely he will break into national team though

LS candidates

Kapali is the only leg spinner with over 100 first class wickets. We all know Noor Hossain has talent, but he is very raw. So far he has only 30 wickets in the 10 FC matches he has played at an average of 37.

Clearly the SLA's dominate. Saqlain Sajib and Enamul are the best two pipeline spinners for the longer version, while Arafat Sunny is a better option for the shorter versions. Likes of Shuvo, Nabil Samad have to prove more. The best non SLA option we have now is Sohag Gazi. Hope he has a terrific NCL.
