But we have seen way too many Bangladeshi[and Pakistani]players being destroyed due to the early introduction, Nafees Iqbal(19), Rajin Saleh(20), Tushar Imran(19), Talha Jubair(17) and the list literally goes on and on. If exposed at the right time, some of them would have been instrumental in the current BD team. [eg. Talha Jubair was thought to be of Mashrafe's calibre, but an injury destroyed the potentials, he is still a shadow of himself].
Exposure to international cricket is like exposure to the sun, without proper UV protection the skin[player] can burn out rather quickly.


But I still think if they have it in them, they're only gonna only get better. In the case of fast bowlers too, it's better to make an early debut because, you're not gonna get a long run with a 28+ year old guy. So the earlier the better. Well Talha got injured, his bad. That'd have happened in any phase of his career, don't you agree?

BTW most of the above mentioned players have a pretty average FC stats to back them
