I was wondering if it was Papon.

Playing Miraz vs SL is fine because of their left-handers and after they scored 350 in the practice match.

Not calling up Miraz was the right call so far. He's only 20, ODIs add to pressure, an unsuccessful stint in ODIs can lower his confidence, he's still working on his Test rhythm and consistency, his impeccable control vanished after all the noise following the England series. These are all things you've to take into account. He has enormous potential, should be handled carefully, and you've to make the right calls with a long-term view.

It's fine if Papon makes a call every once in a while. Just don't make a habit out of it. Let the selectors do their job, otherwise the selection panel serves no purpose.

I doubt he would've interfered before 2nd Test had it not been our 100th. Riyad likely would've been dropped from Test after completing the series. Mominul would've kept playing and he should've. Too early to drop Momin, and Imrul just returned from an injury. It usually takes a little more time to get back to your best following an injury.
