He can't even consistently get up to 88 MPH and guess what he's now injured. Each and every domestic bowlers in countries like Australia, England can bowl at about 93 MPH that doesn't make all of them good enough to play test cricket. Many English fast bowlers (Really fast) have come, got injured or did not succeed at the test level.

Look at the likes of Shaun Pollock, Glenn Mcgrath or even Stuart Clark, they've got absolutely no pace, even worse than Bangladeshi bowlers but they were both legends cause they had the natural talent of picking up wickets. As far as quick bowlers are concerned, look at Mitchell Johnson, his seam position is terrible but he can still pick up wickets (100+ wickets in 20 matches) and again this goes to show you need to have that natural talent.

I think we need to stop getting over-excited about average talents in the country and look forward to those who have already proved themselves by picking up wickets at the domestic level.

So pretty much you are saying Rubel Hossain should be as good as Mohammad Aamer? Mohammad Aamer is 1 of a kind and is ready for international cricket..He's just a prodigy..You can't just expect Hossain to be just like Aamer.. now question is should he have gotten in to international cricket so ? I don't think so..he still needs a lot more time..it doesn't mean he's overrated tho..your just talkin way too early..let him develop 1st and then talk
