i think the biggest thing against older players making a comeback or even a debut if they didn't get a chance earlier is that given the quality of BD domestic cricket they'll likely need some time to adjust and develop, now of course it's fair to assume anyone needs sometime to do this but older more experienced players who know there game better should adjust quicker and make an impact earlier, this is tough for BD players in particular because of that gulf in quality that they face when jumping levels. The question then comes down to whether it's worth taking a gamble on someone older or someone younger, both will need that adjust,net and development time, neither are sure bets but assuming they both work out then you get more years out of the younger guy.

Nothing against the older and more experienced but if they are selected then they need to be more ready, you don't want to pick a 30 year old who's going to need 2-3 years to develop properly so you only get maybe 5 good years out of them tops when you could take a youngster who will need the same time to develop but give you 10-15 good years. younger people tend to have a better chance of catching on a bit quicker as well while the older blokes can have a tough time moving past some bad habits.

But guys like Tushar are important, for their consistency help develop the younger players and even if they haven't been successful internationally, if they've been successful domestically then they still have some helpful advice to give to the young guys.
