nazim was obvious before they even selected him for the test side though. he had already had a number of runs in the t20I and ODI team and although he's always been weak in those formats, even domestically, it was pretty obvious he wouldn't have been able to survive at test level. the other thing with nazim is he was older, in his prime and pretty much past his development stage by the time he hit the test XI. anamul is very much still in his development stage, players that are still developing should almost always get a longer run than someone older, mature and more experienced.
