farhad - recent 5fer. experience since shahadat isn't there, he also has a surprisingly good FC record (24 average).

mehrab - think he had a good run in the last FC season? career FC record is one of the better ones in BD (37 average - 13 tons).

soumya - scored a ton in a recent practice match didn't he?

sabbir - his all round ability, he can hit boundaries and bowl leg spin. recent t20 form was good (got a 60 odd and a 50 odd in recent t20s).

muktar ali - his list A and t20 records so far are incredible (14 and 17 averages), FC record is really solid to (27 average).

nur - good list A form atm and a really good list A record actually (26 average), bowls leggies so some variation.

if i was a selector those are the positives i'd take from those players at current. at least this time even the not so good selections, or surprisingly selections have some sort of decent reasoning to them.
Ya agreed. Imrul, Raqibul, SN, Shahadat and Junaid have all rightfully been dropped. Let them top the domestic charts before they get considered again. They've all been getting in to the preliminary squads for far too along despite not being great in domestics.

At least in this squad they've picked all the top performers in domestics. That sends the right message and lets players know that being talented is not enough to get in to the squad anymore.
