does this second phase eliminate those selected players who can't show impressive performance or the selectors still want to keep them for some time?

I read that Jahidul Hasan Khan's top speed was 86 mph and around 6'2 tall. Wayaskarani Palash 85 mph.

You are talking about Zahid Hossain, right?

"Zahid Hossain, a first year student of Jahangirnagar University, bowled the fastest delivery in the final camp by sending a ball at 86 MPH. This 6 feet 2 inches bowler from Gazipur has impressed the coach with his speed, action and overall physical fitness. "

Where will they be coached? I seem to remember hearing that a few of them will be sent to MRF and a few to Australia. Any new on that?

Mav,

Because young quicks either have pace, or they dont.

Everyone else relies on temperment, technique and other things you cant test with a speed gun.
