Out of sight, out of mind.
Let's not bank on Isam alone to do this.
There are many more sports writers in Bangladesh, beseech them also to do this.

Isam is the best amongst the Bangladeshi journalist, no doubt.
But the others have a track record of poor journalism, take the recent Tamim incident.
Also, Isam is the only BD journalist that works for Cricinfo, wish we had more.
Maybe this way, there would be more competition as to who comes up with better articles.
At the moment, Isam has no competition. His like the head of Bangladesh cricket on ESPN.

I think u need to take down him contact info and email or call him.
Doing this here will be the least likely to gain his attention.

Not after his attention.
Just thought if other members felt the same:
His journalism more pro-BCB and the neglecting of key issues/topics.

You brought up topics.
So it looks like you are trying very hard for him to report on these issues.

As a fan, these are the issues/topics I expect to find answers too.
As a Journalist, one should try to provide information where there is interest/audience. Isam hasn't been able to capture that gap in the market.
I'm solely critical of his articles because I believe he has been reporting too pro-bcb recently.
Has he written/reported on the failure of BCB to arrange any tours when Pakistan cancelled the tour? any reports on what are the precautionary measures BCB are taking if Australia does not tour? these are relevant journalism. How about the issue of U-19/A team tour? what stops him from reporting those?
These are the question that as fan, I would like answers to.
Is he afraid of BCB directors? why doesn't he report on those matters?
I wanted to know what other members think about this.

He has failed on that.
He hasn't reported fairly, showing one side of the coin is not being impartial.

Then, what's up next step?
Ask for his resignation if he fails to write about this?

Step up the game. Identify the gap. Be fair in your reporting. That's all.
Because sooner or later, more fans will start asking questions about his journalism.
When something starts small.. if you don't stop it.. it grows big in long term.

This article above is one of the things I don't like about Isam. He plays favorites with certain players.
He again brings up Mullah and says that his drop was some sort of "punishment." FFS, he was dropped because he literallly has 1 century after a decade of tests. How does somebody who gets paid to follow BD cricket not understand that?
Talks about giving Sabbir a long run in the lower order. Probably so he can write another "importance of Sabbir" article.
Imrul Kayes not being comfortable "at 3". Hint, he wants Imrul at 2.
No mention of Liton, Nasir, Subashis. Liton only lost his spot due to injury, he's the most deserving youngster, but doesn't even get one mention in an article about "youngsters"
Isam has his favorite players, and always builds narratives around them. Conveniently leaves out things that are not in their favor and provides his own subjective views as truth.
