BTW, I also won't bet on Omi, Robiul, Marshall, Mehrab and others from that generation but would love to see them succeed if in national colors. Country before skepticism, always.

I have more faith on guys from Nasir's generation from the Asian Cup winning team. These guys have a far better (read Shakiblike) approach and have set the bar a lot higher. Not yet sure about Shourobh's ability to sustain success and build on it, but he's definitely a far better option than the tried and failed options from the past. People don't get better in our domestics. They get worse because you can get away with so many bad habits there and put up great numbers that look great without context.

Guys like Nasir, Bijoy, Rumman, Taskin, Hom, Sohan, Shubhashish and Soumya are very promising and are likely to thrive under the pressure and challenges of international cricket. The sooner we get them in the better, provided that each one of these guys gets at least 10 to 15 chances in a row to show how they can adjust to the highest level.

yeah agree. shabbir should be the #7 in both of the shorter formats, he should be drafted in now. if neither of jahurul or shamsur can handle international cricket then probably soumya should be the next to be given chances. hom should never have been dropped but now the middle order is strong so tough to see him making the side soon, but definitely should be one of the next in line.
