I blame the board and management for poor handling of Fizz. I know money is important, but common sense should've prevailed: he shouldn't have joined Sussex. Playing for Bangladesh comes first. He even missed BPL which we need him to play to lift the profile of that tournament. It's actually a good reason he's not part of that Indian tour. We need him fully ready for the Sri Lanka tour. I saw him during the New Zealand tour, and he didn't look ready at all. Recovering fully from a shoulder surgery takes a long time. For sure, he'll be a key player on tours to Sri Lanka, Ireland and England this year.
