I think Faruk has more role in selecting these 12 than Dav.
Its not that bad as it sounds. All the batsmen are in poor form and this kid Rahim has shown skill and temperment. Giving him a chance is not a gamble, worst he can do is perform like seniors are doing now.
Rajib earned his spot. Rookie or not, he deserved to play this test.
The only gamble we are taking is playing Anwar instead of Enamul. We gave up one of our proven best bowler for someone who did good in one practice match. Let us hope this works out. If not, we should see Enamul play in the 2nd test.
