Done
Here it is I added a bit about rubel as well
We are all writing about this since yesterday. Some of us make sense, others don’t. But the intention are all the same. We all have that one question. Why? Or based on what?. The funny thing is, we are all asking a question we know the answer does not exist. At Least not a satisfactory one. But it's a democracy so might as well!
Make no mistake. This isn’t about vilifying Mr. Chandika. God I wish he would stay with for as long as he possibly can. But hey, everyone makes mistakes and because we live under this age of free speech, I can say whatever I want. We all can! The mere intention is to raise some of his decisions that he could've avoided and it would've almost certainly yielded better output!
So this squad for the Bangladesh team for this ever so significant tour of New Zealand did manage to shock a lot of fans. When I see a “lot”, I mean everyone that follows our cricket. When you have 50% of the population raises concern about a selection policy, it's a good thing because that can always happen and tells you the other half is with you! Comforting enough! When it starts to go over that 75% mark, that raises an eyebrow. Tells you that you have taken a gamble and the payoff is huge but so is the backlash. But when 100% of the crowd starts voicing against a decision, that's red flag, red light, siren whatever you want to call it. Let's go one by one. First up, Nasir Hossain. The undisciplined, the bad example and the one who you hate as a teacher but he always manages to pass the test and stay in your class. We all know the kind of utility player Nasir Hossain is. I don’t need to go pull up records because it's that obvious. True, there are times when even I felt that I would rather go with a lineup with players of more solid attributes or the capability to perform better in either departments. But not even in my dreams, I would discard someone like Nasir who I know can come to the rescue where ever I need him and however I need him. So first he lost his spot from the 11 which always seemed as sealed as the likes of Shakib, Mahmudullah, Tamim and so on. I guess his lack of improvement played a role in that. Fair enough,, lets bench him and let him work his way back with some determination which is the only thing he could possibly lack. But then, the coach went an extra step in removing him from 14 all together. How Mr.Chandika! That's very confident of you. You basically said, “You maybe good but unless you roll my way, I don’t need you” Good for you! Now we heard more ridiculous rumours and excuses about him then we would if we were to head Star Plus around 9:00Pm every weeknight! One word, Amateur, I mean what do you see in Shuvagata Hom, that isn`t in Nasir Hossain, he has a test and ODI hundred for crying out loud!
Another person who is a victim to a similar situation. My favorite, Al Amin Hossain. Again, dropping someone like him who performs and performs damn well, that takes b’’’s! The reason, same old Star Plus. Neither makes sense but I can tell that wasn’t never their intention. The first excuse we have heard about Al Amin was the lack of discipline and we heard many times dating it back from the 2015 world cup. No one really paid attention because frankly we were doing ok without him. But then he returned, and he returned as someone whose performance you can't avoid even if u are blind. Performed at the big stage and performed at every kind of competition thrown at him. Yet again, when the team so desperately needed a seamer with experience, with control, with the level of effectiveness we lost with Mustafizur’s injury and Taskin remedial work he was Ignored again. And now, the squad against New Zealand basically says, “I will die but I won’t select you” O coach! Why the ego? Correct me if I am wrong (this applies to both Al Amin and Nasir), but when we have a student in the class that’s talented and performing but has a level of arrogance or the tendency to skip homework, what you do with them? Kick em out the class? Gosh I have never seen that but I knew student I wish got kicked out like that Seeing I was neither performing nor talented. But isn’t the right approach which our teachers always did was be patient with them, challenge them, motivate them and usually one of them always works! So this is where am confused about Mr. Chandika’s teaching techniques. Harsh I tell you! So harsh that it is damaging the performance of the school in general!
Last but not least Shafiul Islam needs to be dropped from the squad, he is simply not fast bowling material for Bangladesh.In fact, after bowling only a handful of overs in the First Test match, he got tired and chose the ''rest'' the series, Rubel Hossain would be a much more effective chance to accompany the pace attack of Bangladesh, his performance against New Zealand are impeccable, with him taking a hat trick and best figures of 6/26, not to mention his 140Kmph Yorker's. Rubel Hossain also won us single handedly the match against England in which Bangladesh qualified for the Quarter Finals against England. Shafiul does not possess the venom, nor the pace to be a effective member of the squad. He needs to be dropped. I rather see Bangladesh play with 9 players instead of 11, because these two simply have no place in a squad filled with performers.We are dropping the fastest bowler, ever from Bangladesh, for a mediocre bowler named Shafiul Islam
It seems to me that the coach has been gambling for too much lately. So much that it has turned into an addiction. He is gambling more every series. Question is, why gamble when you are wininng fine by playing safe? Lower your stakes coach and spend the night at the casino. That seems to be working better for you rather than going “All in” as soon as you walk in!
