As for scouting is concerned, these selectors impressed me by going to several different domestic games even before their contract started (they didn't get paid for those visits). Whereas, the previous ones weren't active and committed like them. So we are in a better hands. They need time before we can make judgment on the trio.

As for matabbory, that is in our blood. They (and everyone else in the board) will do that even if they are not the selectors.
Shakib should not try to emulate anyone and for that reason we should not compare Shakib to Vettori or anyone. For benefit of Bangladesh cricket he should continue to nurture his attitude and fuel his dominance. I support this for the following reasons:
1) the current selectors have not played in the test level and will see the process through a view where their experiences do not suffice to judge a test playing calibre of player.
2) BCB is not a well run organization. A lot of incompetent people have their say in the process. Favoritism is rampant.

Good to hear the selectors are scouting.
