Shahin Hossain - you cannot stop him, you can only hope to contain him :)

From DS
...
Barisal used as many as eight bowlers to break the partnership and finally, wicketkeeper Shahin Hossain removed the two centurions when he took the cherry.
...

This guy is seems like he's a gamer. Question, out of Shahriar Nafis, Tushar, and him, who do you pick for that extra batsmen slot for Eng?

Shahin Hossain is not teted yet. He does show a lot of promise though.

sadi · #3 March 7, 2005, 10:58 PM

can be the one we are looking for who is gona keep wicket after pilot retires...

I think playing him in the tour matches in England will help him develop.

no-one. i would pick someone more experienced for that number six slot.

of course tushar has some experience, but i wouldn't pick him yet.

He needs more time to grow

Shahin Hossain has shown great promise, but on flat pitches. How he copes with seamer friendly pitches remains to be seen yet.

and unless you give him chance, you will never know. He should definilty be included in the U-19 tour in Engalnd.

Ops! he is already 20+ years old officially.

Boyoshta comano Jai-na? Or its too late?

Just give him a new name and a new passport. If he has a photo in cricinfo just get a plastic sergeon. May be BCCB should hire a plastic surgeon permanently who will help us send Ashraful to the under 19 for the next 10 years. We can also send Ashraful in Women's world Cup.

Why you want to cheat his age for U-19 qualification when he can tour England with bangladesh A team in july this year?

Fazal · #11 March 8, 2005, 01:47 PM

Oh its bangladesh A (not U-19) visiting England then. For some reason I thought its U-19. Then all problem solved.

i don't support evaluating someone on the basis of his performance on seamer friendly pitches, solely because we have nobody who's good enough to take on the bowling on such pitches. if we were to choose who gets to play depending on the pitch, then we'd be choosing 11 bowlers on english and aussie pitches.

however, i believe that this guy shahin has yet a long way to go and too many things to prove in order to be included in the national team. he deserves an A/BCB XI cap though.

*AsifTheManRahman* · #14 March 8, 2005, 02:13 PM

having said that, i'm not totally against team formation on basis of playing conditions - however that should only be limited to small things like whether rana will play in place of chacha or whatever.
