He has been mostly out due to his injury ( a la Syed Rasel) and never been able to convince any coach that he is serious about improving his physical condition ( a very common syndrome amongst Bangladesh pace bowlers except maybe Mashrafee, Shahadat). If he is being left out, its not only his fate. He also has to prove that he is a leading wicket taker in domestic league ( like Shafiul) or has the best econ rate ( e.g., Mashrafee), can swing the ball ( e.g., Syed Rasel) or something that's significantly better than Abul (e.g., Fastest bowler) , Shahadat (Second fastest, experience), Rubel (Fast, Reverse Swing) etc.
Could not have said it better. People advocating for Nazmul has not seen his performance enough. He is a back-up bowler and justifiedly so.

Shafiul is much better than Nazmul on almost any pitch. Nazmul's game is very pitch dependent. He is better than Chacha was. But he is behind Shafiul, Rubel, Mashrafe et al.

Abul is yet to make is mark. But one match is not good enough to judge him. He should play at least couple more matches before coaching/selection staff derives a conclusion about him.
