New Age reveals the BD 'A' tour squad for Pak tour

[fwullah]

Alok Kapali, Hannan Sharker, Rajin Saleh., Mushfiqur Rahman, Anowar Hossain, Enamul Haque, Mohammad Moniruzzaman, Manjural Islam, Mohammad Ashraful, Mohammad Selim and Mazharul Hoque are all names making rounds for the ‘A’ squad, yet to be officially announced, revealed the source.

The source also added that if Hannan Sarkar’s selection is confirmed he is likely to be named the captain of the selection.

I think BangladesherKhela was mis-informed, Hannan Sarkar is to be named the captain of the BD 'A' team, not the possible replacement of Khaled Mahmud for the national team.

Some senior players like Habibul Basher, Javed Omar, Mohammad Rafique and captain Khaled Mahmud have been left out of this venture as they have been deemed mature enough, by the think tanks, to recover their form on their own accord. They will also be busy with domestic cricket.

Al Shariar Rokon, Tushar Imran, Monjurul Islam and former captain Naimur Rahman have also been avoided from the ‘A’ team speculation.

***Today's Daily Star reports that those national players who will participate in the 'A' team's tour of Pakistan, it will not be a 'trial' tour for them.

[rafiq]

Did they mention anything about me being in the squad? No? Damn, I wanted to go!!

[chinaman]

Next time Rafiq. I think this time Ehsan Mani was the possible chief selector for the possble A team.

[Zobair]

naah,,prolly they confused rafiq bhai with rafique bhai....the spinner who has had a rather successful season so doesn't need any more practice!

[Hasib]

hehehe

[Ehsan]

Yes, Yes I was the chief selector this time. How did you get to know chinaman bhai?

[oracle]

Have they fixed the match schedule for these games? IWould like to follow them.

[muddaser]

the majority of those players are in the senior team. looks like it will be a good contest since the PAK A team will be full of youngsters.

[sameer]

mudasser it is not an A team competetion.
they are playing in our domestic firstclass competetion.7 teams are from pakistan and bangladesh are invited as a guest team.it will be good exposure for them.
and we also need a good team in patron's trophy.it is going to start on 1st december.

[chinaman]

No alternative for practice and experience.

[muddaser]

looks like bangladesh are favourites to win then.

[fwullah]

I don't think so muddaser.

Most of these players are off-form and are tired for playing too many International cricket. What they needed to gain some form was rest, unfortunately they're not getting that rest.
