| My team is pretty similar to the one that played in the BD-A vs SL-A series. The team is given in the batting order.

| I'm sorry Efaz but the players in the WAT A team must have demonstrated they have conquered the domestic competition first. For this reason, I have omitted Mehrab Hossain Jr and Saqibul Hasan. If they are still playing U19 cricket then they haven't proven they are the best players in the domestic competition. In England, U19 players are still playing Second XIs cricket. The WAT team must have players who are capable of playing regular A cricket to act as reserves for the Test players if required. This is exactly what happened in the India Test series recently when Alistair Cook and Owais Shah were drafted in at sudden notice to make their Test debut. These guys are proven domestic players - not U19 players.

| I understand your point Admin. But the general feeling in Bangladesh is that our domestic circuit is still not strong enough to produce quality international players. Techniques of our leading domestic performers are always under question. For example, Faisal Hossain was picked for his very consistent batting form in the National Cricket League, only to be discarded after few ODIs. The guy is lebeled as one who relys mostly on his reflexes rather than techniques. Faisal is still a very consistent performer in the domestic arena, but very few have hopes that he will be given another chance. On the other hand, age group cricket in Bangladesh is very strong, and so far is the main feeder for the national team. Players from HP unit are liked better than domestic cricketers mainly because they are taught their basics well. Current national team core players such as Mohammad Ashraful, Mashrafe Bin Mortuza, Aftab Ahmed, Enamul Haque, all were catapulted from age group teams into the national team, after brief stints with the A-team. Like it or not, Mehrab and Saqibul have already played quite a few matches for the A-team (some of them are not listed as FC matches because those were practice matches against Test sides). At this point, Bangladesh don't have much choices but to pick players with good potentials and provide them best possible learning opportunities, one of which is A-team level cricket. Like our national team, they will frequently get crushed by stronger and more experienced opponents, but I strongly believe, like our national team, they will fast learn how to make other teams run for their money. Hey, I can tell you this much, the team I selected is strong enough to beat Zimbabwe national team, or any associate country team. Last edited by Efaz : 16-04-2006 at 09:00 PM. |

| I take your point Efaz but look at that long list of players who have played many Test matches at such a young age and have already been discarded. Is that a good policy? Al Sahariar played his last Test match 3 years ago. He was 22 years old when he played his first Test match. Surely he is an improved player and deserves a second chance. I have also asked Rifat to participate as a selector. Perhaps he has some thoughts regarding the issue of youth versus experience.

| Both Owais Shah and Alistair Cook were actually picked up for Eng A-team at early ages and both matured fast to play for their national team. Their examples make me believe further that both Mehrab and Saqibul are picked for the A-team at right ages. I understand we had many individual failures in the past trying to fast track some very young cricketers into international level, but you can't say that the process was a failure as a whole. Our current bunch of national cricketers are the youngest ever we have, but yet they are the ones who brought us most amount of success so far. Notice that this group is still improving at a rapid pace, unlike previous groups whose improvement curve got leveled after a while. Our selector are actually slowing down the fast track process now and that's why we still have Saqib and Mehrab in the A-team, not in the national one. Also, I am very certian that those two won't get beyond the A-team in a hurry as we have a pretty stable pool of national players at this point. |

| BTW, Admin, why did not you list Hannan Sarkar as an option in your second post? He is way younger than Al Shahriar, played almost as many Tests and ODIs as Al Shahriar played, and scored more FC runs this year with a higher average than Al Shahriar scored. |

| That's a fair question Efaz. Let's compare their batting stats this season: Code: Name Mat I NO Runs HS Ave SR 100 50 Ct St Team Hannan Sarkar 10 18 1 719 121 42.29 57.19 1 5 3 - BARISAL Al Sahariar 8 15 0 593 102 39.53 79.17 1 5 7 - DHAKA I see Vrock has picked Tamim Iqbal who is a bright prospect but he is only 17 years old. Once again, I'll state that I'm not in favour of picking boys no matter how good they appear to be. Tamin has only played 7 FC matches which is no proof that he has conquered the domestic competition. I think a sensible approach would be to choose the majority of players between 23 and 25 years. Try to pick a team which has a blend of youth and experience. Look for a couple of seasoned pros who are 25+ and one or two youngsters below 23 is acceptable. The older guys have better physical strength as well as mental strength so I'm reluctant to accept a team of boys. Put some men in your team, please.
