I have no issues over the selection of Mominul. He is a tough kid and deserves to be in the XV, if not in the XI. But I just can't get over the fact that Jahurul, who has had such an average season, preferred over the league's top scorer.

Jahurul did not have an average season. He averaged a 50 in both the NCL and BCL. Also he's been doing well on a consistent batsman for years now in our domestic system. Can Marshall say the same? As far as I know, he's been an average performer until this year. Jahurul offers more than Marshal also. He can bat in the top and middle order and keeps. I have doubts that Marshall can bat in the top order. I see he bats mostly in 5-7. So I don't see this being a bad decision to be honest
