My alleged bias has nothing to do with it. Those who unreasonably question my sense of fairness should take a good look at their own.
My favorite active players, for the record, are (in order):
1. Mashrafe Bin Murtaza
2. Md. Ashraful Matin
3. Shakib Al Hasan
4. Ricky Thomas Ponting
Mushy and Tamim will get there soon enough.

A leadership is a rare quality that few of our players have at current squad. I don't doubt Ashraful's ability but he needs to develop still, Mashrafee might have but not sure he might be struggling for health reason.
Though offtopic but I also agree with Sohenl_NR that we should sent the recent performers like Alok,Sezan (old rejects from national team) along with the new ones more often to the A team. Our A team needs to play more matches. I am so surprised that they are not touring recently. Could be monetary issue, but to sustain the infrastructure and maintain cricket standard, we need to send both our national and A team to practice more often. As I am looking towards WC 2011, we can only know who will be drafted to our depleted national team from the top A team performer, if we can make these A team players play more and perform.
