Cricket Trade

[Rizvi]

The free agency/trade market is a huge opportunity for professional U.S. franchises to upgrade team weaknesses or build/invest for future. In trades, teams engage with one another to cater to their immediate specific needs. With that in mind, an interesting hypothetical question came to my mind and i'm wondering your perspective.

Assume the national cricket teams were franchises and Bangladesh was marketing around for a top notch Bowler, and Pakistan put up Mohammed Aamer in the market. Obviously, Bangladesh doesn't have much trade bait for Pakistan to be interested in other than potentially Tamim (to fill their current opening void) or Shakib (long term allrounder prospect).

Which of the following offers would you (GM of BD team) feel reasonable in return for Mohammed Aamer and are willing to parcitipate in towards improvement of BD? Lets Keep both teams interests in mind with a fair assessment of talents.

1) Aamer for Tamim
2) Aamer for Shakib
3) Aamer for Tamim/Shakib plus someone (specify)
4)Tamim/Shakib for Aamer plus someone (specify)
5) Both Tamim and Shakib for Aamer plus someone (specify)
