Test Squad Announcement: Bangladesh vs West Indies

[Max100]

bowling is terrible

what happened to shubhashis, shahid and rony?

i think they destroyed our best test pacer robiul for good

tushar and mosaddek should be in the main squad

razzaq dropped after 1 test. wow.

[Max100]

anamul, naeem islam not in any squad either

Rony is better in shorter formats, don’t think he’s ready for tests yet. I’ve probably said in the past to try him but with ebadat getting kore experience, fizz doing ok in tests, a couple of youngsters looking promising it’s prob better to keep rony with his shorter formats.

Anamul just has bad luck imo, he got picked young, did badly, wasn’t persisted with and now he’s competition has stepped it up. Regardless of whether he’s competing for he keeper spot or 2nd opener spot hos competition is liton or nurul, maybe mushy f mushy wants the gloves, also imrul which the selectors still like. Just bad luck for anamul, Liton has over taken him as an opener and a keeper, nurul has overtaken him as a more specialist keeper. Only other option is to dethrone tamim.

Don’t think naeem has done as well recently (though still pretty good), younger players are on the rise like shanto, mosa, zakir, shadman etc so maybe they just want to try out some youth (not surprising since sabbir and soumya are failing).

As flawed as the selectors maybe, I don't understand why Anamul would be considered for this format...

Did you mean to say wouldn’t? He’s got a very nice record in the longer format (FC cricket, not his test record which is a small sample and when he was very young).

This is because of our low quality domestic bowling. Anamul doesn't have any footwork at all to face international pace bowling.

I think Anamul has the worst test stats compared to his stats on other formats. Scored only 73 runs in 8 innings. He should be in the ODI and T20 squads, not Test.

Terrible terrible selection. Another whitewash on the cards.
Pace is not our strengths, and yet they take 4 completely useless pacers leaving out the better ones. Rather should have taken more batsmen.
Batting looks too short handed and tail looks too long. Needed Tushar and Mosaddek.
This stupid selection committee needs to go. And please get rid of Walsh at least for a series.

And people cry about domestics structure. If we could have utilized what we have properly, we could have easily done just so much better. I was hoping for a Test win but now expecting the worst possible result.
