ASIF AHMED
they need to give this kid more exposure, get him into the A team. he's 20 years old, a top order batsman (where we are struggling atm), he's played 23 FC matches and has still managed to keep his FC average a bit above 39, 4 tons, 6 half tons, strike rate of 71. he has been poor in the shorter formats, record doesn't lie but let's give him some A team chances. we don't get that many who average close to 40, this young and for this long (4 FC seasons). we're pushing guys like anamul, mominul etc, why not asif? he actually had (still does) a better FC record than mominul before mominul jumped up to the test team and mominul was getting quite a few A team chances before that so why doesn't someone like asif ahmed who has been performing since he was 16, in a position that we are struggling to find competent players in, get a chance in the A team?
he's useful with the ball as well by the look of it.
i'm not saying he's the 2nd coming or anything but surely he's done enough to see some A team action, at least in longer format matches?
