Nafees has been terrific in NCL consistently and therefore, if there is a slot waiting to be filled for test cricket, his name should be up there regardless of how much of a 'khocha" player you guys make him.
You guys talk about not going "backwards" but dont realize that continuing this "debut and chop" theory that our selectors has been using has not done ANY good for our longer format. We have had Anamul, Shamsur, Marshal, Nasir, Liton and soon Soumya will be in that list too.
If a veteran makes a late comeback in his career, there is no "going back" by giving him another go! Look at Imrul! After avg around 14-17 for the longest time, he made a comeback and now holds a permanent opening slot in the side. Does he have half the technical attributes Shahriar Nafees or Roqibul Hasan has? Don't even kid yourselves!
