Eita sadi'r team chilo na?

[sar2005]

what a team!! Look brilliant!!

[rudro]

No Ehsanul Haque
No Rokon
No Hannan
No Sharif

Not bad. They have given chances to younger players. But what happened to Shamsur Rahman?

Why Tapash? What prospect does he have with the team in the presence of Shahadat, Rasel, Mashrafe?

[Miraz]

Its really an injustice to Rokon. He has done enough to get a recall in the national tem but the selectors are ignoring heam even in the A Team.

This is crap

Tushar to lead Bangladesh A
Sports Reporter

National selectors once again ignored former national cap Al Shahriar's tremendous batting form when they announced a 13-member Bangladesh A team for the first Test of the coming home series against Sri Lanka A.

Shahriar was the highest run-getter among the local players in the Premier Cricket League and have scored 492 runs including one century and four half-centuries for Dhaka in the first-class competition. He was even discussed for the Tigers' home one-day series against Kenya but it was unfortunate for him not to be even included for the A team.


The second-string Sri Lankan side will arrive in Dhaka on March 20 to play two Tests (four-day) and three one-dayers.


Tushar Imran has been named captain of the home side that included other Test caps in Nafees Iqbal, Tapash Baisya, Enamul Haque Jr, Nazmul Hossain and Mushfiqur Rahim.


The first Test will be held in Dhaka from March 23 while the second Test at Rajshahi from March 29-April 1. The three one-dayers will be held in Bogra (April 4) and Khulna (April 6, 8).


All the 13 cricketers have been asked to take part for the respective divisions in the ninth-round National League matches. They have been requested to report to team coordinator Sharif Mahmud Palash at the Sonargaon Hotel on March 20 at 8pm.

Officials: Shaun Williams (coach), Minhajul Abedin (assistant coach), Sam Byrne (physio).

Taposh is still our 4th pacer. With our injury history he's usually 2nd or 3rd.

They also left out the two best bowlers of the league - "Shanto" and "Arafat". Ehsanul,Rokon, Hannan. I guess they didn't want old folks in the team. Taposh must be the oldest guy. Average age below 20. Isn't it?

No Golam Rahman, no Shamsur? No Tamim?

Did Sadi really predict this team?

[Tigers_eye]

I guess the pain is too deep with Al - Shahriar and the selectors. This should motivate him more. What's total score of Nazmus Sadat in the league? Did he score 2 centuries and couple of 90s?

Yes it is. If a player is out from national team for some reason, what is the way for him to get back? My impression was that a consistent performance in the domestic league is the only way. Looks like its not. পা চাটা-চাটির ব্যাপারটা মনে হয় এখনো আমাদের ছেড়ে যায়নি।


Sorry if I am over-reacting!

something very close. Didn't have NIqbal there but had his brother there.

In that case, he is an insider.

This was not a team anyone could have predicted without inside knowledge. Too many sure players were left out and too many wild cards came in. Shhhhhhhhhhhhh

Where is that pain coming from? Who is Faruk representing? Almost everyone in this foram agree that Rokon deserves a chance at least in the A-team? Doesn't this generalize to all Bangladeshi fans? Wait, excluding the selectors. They are not perhaps Bangladesh Fan.

Close but not quite.... I am actually happy with this team and good to see rokon is not there.... I mean tough luck but hey.... if the selectors are not planning to give him another chance in the national team, why take a spot in A team.... Good to see Sakib in there.... eventhough I haven't heard anything about him in a while.... he didn't play in any NCL game... I wonder why.... Also good to see selectors keeping an eye on Nazmus Sadat and Shafaq Al Zabir

Don't get too excited, Sadi. They don't have two eyes. They are always one-eyed. They will give chance to these young guns when they are between 17 - 20, will dump them when they are 22.

[sadi]

atleast they will dump them from the A team.... thats an improvement... don't you think??

Faulty logic. This means no national discard should play in the A team. Not right.

[TheWatcher]

After scoring 1400+ runs in the last 15 FC match, Ehsanul Haque still does not get a call. Ridiculous.

You can call it whatever you want.... but to me, if selectors are not looking to pick someone in future, you wouldn't see him playing for A team... whatever the reason might be behind the decision... I don't want to get into rokon controversy again but A team tour is quite rare to us and we should utilize these tour to the fullest and give as many opportunities as we can to the new players who are coming up and might play for national team in near future....

[roaring tigerz]

pretty good selection. i completely agree with the other forum members regarding the omission of especially rokon and ehsanul. the sole criteria for selection in the A team should be A team performance. i want to know what faruk and co. has to say about leaving the two highest run scorers in the league out.

i am glad to see riyad and farhad reza in the team. they seem to be the kind of utility players we are looking for in the ODIs. also thought Shanto's league performances deserved a callup.

also good to see U-19 stars in the team. big things are expected from the trio and it will be interesting to see how they make this transition.

one other person, I will keep a close eye on would be shafaq. has been really impressive in the league so far. tall paceman bowls at brisk pace. lets see if he measures up competing in international cricket.

very very bad decision..... players are giving chances due to good scores in domestic cricket :duh:... that means we are not following good tradition of cricket like aus, eng, ind..who give chances to players who do good in domestic cricket.... i feel sorry for the peoples who are not selected..this is destructive selection procedure.....this could kill out cricket..i dont want to see that ....totally bogus selection......sorry good performers...
