keep it up man.

That's the problem. He bats in test as if it's a T20. Not only he lacks technique facing test quality bowlers he shows no sign of patience; resulting in laughable performance. Surely he has done well in BPL2 and he should be congratulated but reading more into his 2 back to back good performances and thinking he's back at the international standard would be a mistake.

I totally agree with you

We should not mix up formats guys. He might be tried in ODI but not test cricket. He has serious problem facing swing bowling or short deliveries. If he improves on those areas, which I think he should really try, he might make a case for the test team.

Knowing our selectors... Its likely.
I would like to see marshall ayub given a chance for tests.

Which Sub-continent/Bangladeshi opening batsmen doesn't have issues with the moving ball up front, especialy in foreign pitches? Just look at Tamim/Kayes/Junaid record abroad and you'll see. Put Nafees at 5 like Shakib or Nasir bats where the new ball has lost its shine and batting becomes easier and im sure Shahriar Nafees will give you performances like shakib has done

Spiderman · #**257** January 26, 2013, 06:41 AM

I think he should return to national side but bat at 4-5 positions. Shakib needs some time to rest as he bowls a lot and although I would've slotted Marshall Ayub instead, he hasn't played much BPL this season for some reason. Here's my 16 man test squad for tours to Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in order first:-

Tamim, Anamul, Mahmudullah, Naeem, Shahriar, Shakib, Nasir, Rahim, Gazi, Rubel, Shafiul...Sunny, Abul, Mashrafe, Marshall and Enamul jr.

But in Sri Lanka, it will be spinning so you will need 3 specialist spinners and Zimbabwe is a place with a bit more seam so 3 fast bowlers would be ideal. I won't be surprised if Bangladesh win a few test matches this year for once.

WarWolf · #**258** January 26, 2013, 06:56 AM

1 hundred and 1 fifty in T20s and he is into the test side directly!! amra pario baba!

do you see the problem in this statement? you are selecting the 16 man test squad and excluding Marshall Ayub because he hasn't played BPL which is a T-20 league! Conveniently forgetting the double hundred he recently scored in the longer format.
It's not only you i am pretty sure the selectors will also use the same method.

There are plenty of tests, take Mahsall Ayub aswell and give him a try, no harm in that

Shaan · #**261** January 26, 2013, 07:52 AM

Nafees shouldn't be counted for test or ODI because of this BPL hundred, he is already given enough chances. If any call only for T20 and in the middle order.

Enough of seen and given chances Nafees and Ashraful in test and ODI, no need to make the same mistakes by including those two in test or ODI.

Not even ODI? Who would you suggest instead? Tamim-who is supposedly your best batsman, has also been given enough chances already, Nafees has a higher average and more 100's in ODI's than Tamim Iqbal, if you're going to drop Nafees from ODI team, you need to drop Tamim first. Nafees and Ashraful aren't on the same boat, Nafees has played many fewer games than, and has a much better record than Ashraful

btw Nafees has only played 1 T20 for Bangladesh ever! Tells you how many chances he's got in that format

BD_TigerZ · #**263** January 26, 2013, 08:13 AM

Lets see SN for the rest of bpl then you may think of picking squads.. Atm its inconsisty all over..

Don't cry baby H'

BANFAN · #**265** January 26, 2013, 02:07 PM

BPL is a T20 league so, tis performance shouldn't count for calling him up for the test team...is a lame logic. SN has played test cricket and he knows what's that. His performance in BPL shows that he has found his form. He doesn't probably need to prove in every format of domestic cricket like the rookies. If he continues to play the way he is playing, he can safely be called for all formats.

roman · #**266** January 26, 2013, 02:27 PM

Etto bar dhora khailam Tao shikhlam na kisu. 2-3 good innings and we are jumping up and down. He has got so many chances.. Let him finish BPL first and then we can have a clear picture. An inform Nafees is great to have. No question about that, but let's take it slow please.

Still can't forget the way he threw his wicket away against WI. For a test match, that was very disturbing way to get out

You are right it is lame. Nafees plays test Cricket like its a t-20 anyways. So he will chase those wide deliveries and hit them for four instead of edging because of the bpl form.

SN is much more capable than Naeem in that one down position (atleast in the ODIs). He deserves to get the chance.

Spiderman · #**273** January 27, 2013, 03:52 PM

Shahriar Nafees looks fit now and clearly lost weight happy for him. If he can be as consistent as possible and notch up at least another 3-4 50s if not more before the end of BPL 2, then he should be considered for the national team again. Don't forget he has a fantastic record against a team like Zimbabwe so nothing to lose but will slot him in Tests at number 4 and ODIs at 3. Naeem Islam is not really a good player of spin but Shahriar is.

As long as TI is in the team...that's a lame excuse. None plays more T20 in test matches, than TI. Lets find some better excuse. I'm not yet saying that he should be called back, but if he continues o bat well in BPL. That definitely will be strong indication that he is back in form.

Class players are good in all formats.

simon · #**275** January 27, 2013, 04:25 PM

it's silly to let SN play tests because he had some success in T20,that also not T20I but BPL.
But then again if he continues in this form it might happen & I won't be against it.
In ODIs we already have a good enough batting line up, I don't see him getting in.
But for T20I, why not?
