Screw the selectors.

Looked and agree on the bolded part because Dolar > Shahzada and he is not in the team. If anybody have a doubt on this equality read the Cricinfo article when Dolar, missing an important L in the middle, how started to sweep up the currency market on a given day .

As far as I can remember, Shahjada was struggling to make the Mohamedan team in this year's DPL. In some games, Mohamedan even went with just one pacer (Rana Naved) and even when he got a chance, he would bowl 2-3 overs only. Saw his bowling on TV. He is very average to be honest.

Shahazada played in Duleep trophy for BD selection and did really bad few years back.

Statswise even Baisya and Jubair had better starts to their careers than Rubel. What really is the guarantee that he will turn into a great bowler one day even with coaching and stuff? Yes he can get good bounce and reverse the ball a little bit but he doesn't seem to be able to use it. He can improve on those but it will take him ages to improve on them as he is just another stubborn Bangladeshi seamer who just wants to spray the bowl around. How much time can we waste on his development or rather how many matches can we lose just for the sake of his development?

looks like this guy khalek has relli gott it in 4 rubel in his eyes no mata what he duz looks like hil always hav a bad thing to say abbt him ., am i rung ???
Anyway is dis guy shazada related to you or something , y the sudden hypee.??

[NKVD]

Khalek Munshee - what are you smoking, bhai ?

Baisha comparable to Rubel, like c'mon man. Did you like have a dream of this fella...so now you are so hung up for him !!

Or does his Pakistani sounding name turn you on, yaarr !

No disrespect meant, bhai, but please, learn how to take feedback from ppl. That is the biggest problem in ppl here.

I think youre being a little hard on Rubel here. By no means is he the best of bowlers atm, but with his pace, (relative) accuracy, and aggression, he has the potential to be much, much more. The only way to foster that potential is to have him play against decent sides. Theres no point in him bullying around domestic sides - he had an avg of 16 (thats less than Shakib) and a SR of 25 (thats more than 2 wickets/match) in DPL this year - when he can learn how to outwit real professionals on the field. He couldn't even dream of those figures a year ago before he got into the national side. Thats what one year of international experience did for him.

Add to that his pace and ability to throw off batsmen, and its a no-brainer...

[Ajfar]

holy cow only 23 and already played 51 first class matches??? where the hell did he play all these matches??

our players don't usually have this much match under their belt this early on

[dolcevita]

Rubel and Shafiul are the best pair of pacer we have ever produce

I'm a little surprised myself. He's definitely one to keep an eye on. Not at Rubels expense though (unless his mechanics completely break down)...

Are you sure about the speed. If he does bowl at that speed then world class players will take him apart

Shahajada has one of the best averages in domestic matches, if not the best. Look at his stats. I believe he was not given enough exposures in international matches. Only few international matches do not justify someone’s ability. He was really one of the best few years ago. His performance in recent years has degraded though, until his last first class performance. If he keeps performing the same way, I am sure he will be called up unless falls into selection politics as he has been in the past. In contrast, Rubel is at his pick and I think he is doing really great. He is fast and he knows how to take wickets. By the way, I prefer someone's stats behind him rather than speed. Talent means nothing if someone cannot take wickets.

So when are we kicking Rubel out of the side and give this guy an opportunity? Just compare the FC records of Rubel and Shahzada, the selectors are dumb so are the BD fans for rating the below par Rubel so highly.

rubel is going to be kicked out...
1) After claiming 250 ODI wickets & 200 Test wickets
2) After hurting 100 more batsman with his vicious bouncers
3) Touching 150 kph umpteenth times
4) winning us 25 matches single-handedly, and
5) becoming an icon.... from teknaaf to tetulia

matter of only 15 years....
see you then..

He has done extremely well against Zim A team in 2006 in two 4 day matches.

I welcome this thread.

Mohammad Shahzada has been one of the most consistent performers in domestic cricket for the past 4-5 years. He's an accurate bowler who can bat well. Not as aggressive as Talha (also an accurate seamer), he lacks the type of variety we see in Rasel and Talha, but that can be taught. Young guys like this, he's ONLY 23, are ideally suited for the shorter versions and need to be developed through the A Team.

[Trigger_Tiger]

Khalek...are you Shehzada by any chance? Enough of the animosity. Start playing better to get a spot in the team son !

Off-Topic: That was "Akasher Ab".

[FagunerAgun]

No problem, Shahzada can prove more, then he can be included in the team on his performance basis.

But MD Sharif has more wicket!
