Notable omission from players draft is MA Motin who had a below average outing with bat this NCL. I guess it's a good opportunity for him to go back to play khep cricket in USA.

বিসিএলে ভালো খেলে দলে ফিরতে চান রাহী

বিডিক্রিকটাইমকে তিনি বলেন, ‘উইন্ডিজ সিরিজের দলে থাকার প্রত্যাশা ছিল, যে কারোরই থাকবে। চট্টগ্রাম টেস্টে না খেললে আমি বিসিএলে খেলতে পারব। আমার ইচ্ছা একটাই— আমি ম্যাচ খেলবো। যদি বিসিএলেও খেলতে পারি, আমি খুশি।’

‘সিলেটের উইকেটে পেসে সহায়তা ছিল না। তাও যেমনই হোক, ভালোই হয়েছে বলব। এখনও বিসিএলের উইকেট দেখিনি, মাঠও দেখিনি। কাল আমি যাবো। আবহাওয়ার কারণে শিশির থাকুক বা উইকেটে ঘাসই থাকুক, আমার কোনো ফায়দা নেই। এখন মুল লক্ষ্য বিসিএলে যত বেশি উইকেট শিকার করা যায়।’

No Ash in BCL!

[al Furqaan]

No leg spinners? We need to groom one FFS!

[RealSports]

I have been a fan of this tournament.

[One World]

After 50 overs Central is 158/8 vs South, all NT megastars failed.

North which seems strongest in batting is 190/2 against youthful East

Liton in bad form.. Naeem continues scoring runs.. another ton but apparently Mithun is better.

Don’t single out md mithun. Dullah is worse. One ton in 8 years is a big joke.

[One World]

Naeem and Zahurul showing why they are far better than all those atrocious selections for TEST.

Wake up Nannu et. al.

[Max100]

It's crime not to select naeem, jahurul and Tushar in test match. Instead selecting fazle,Mithun,shanto, ariful and jodu modhu

[aklemalp]

Since Naeem is 31 years old, he will be considered an elder statesman by the selector. His path to the team will have to follow something like Abdur Razzak's

[Max100]

He should have been included 5 years ago or should never be dropped from national team. Nannu should be sacked for his personal anger towards him.
His revenge comes first, country second

[Max100]

Aklemalp r u making fantasy tournament for bd vs wi

[One World]

Handy reply from SN and Rabbi whereas North just piling on runs

[One World]

After SN’s 71 Tushar joins the party

[Eshen]

Fazle back to bullying domestics

In last three FC seasons (including current one)-

Junaid scored 2143 runs@average 54.95
Shadman 1775@52.21
Liton 1686@60.21
Mizanur 1680@54.19

I find it strange to see Junaid has not been called even to the A-team, unlike the other three openers.

And junaid was very talented, from memory he did have a weakness against the short ball but his consistency was the main issue. Come to hunk of it if they are looking for experience then junaid is a pretty perfect player to call up since he has a lot of international experience behind him as well.

where do you find these stats? care to share?

[Eshen]

^^ You can find each season's stat from CI. I manually added stats for those four in a spreadsheet, for three years.

[Shadow]

Central Zone beats South zone. Abu Hider picked 4 wickets and Shuvagata picked 5. Sylhet is a good place to play cricket.

[cricket_king]

If abu hider produces another good showing, he may get a call up to nz

[Max100]

for gods sake, In dhaka test--get rid of kayes, mithun, riad and bring back

naeem, tushar, shadman

[Max100]

i think soumya will come good in 2nd test

[Eshen]

Mohor Sheikh continuing with his good form from NCL - picked up Liton early today
