MHRAM's post is packaged in a harsh way-at least the thread title :P
But his core argument deserves thought.
Our cricketing system is designed to prioritize skill and talent over intellect, attitude and values. We see a guy like Rubel Hossain who has pace and bounce and we fast track him ahead of 99 other trialists. Whereas someone like Nazmul Hossain has very little chance of making it as he doesnt appear as skilled or quick.
At some point (if not already) it ll be a big problem for BCB. The dressing room needs to have more Aminul Islam's, Naimur Rahman's, Khaled Mashuds, Khaled Mahmuds, Mohammad Rafique's. None of these guys may even come close to our current lot in terms of technical ability, but these guys were more intelligent, driven, gutsy.
Its shocking but beyond Mashrafe, Shakib and Mushfiq there is no other captain material in the squad. Maybe Mominul, Anamul in future, but other than that no. And even at that i wont called Mashrafe and Mushfiq the best tacticians. Shakib despite his shrewd brain can be reckless which is never good for youngsters.
