Musfique is dependable and ready. He would be the backup Wicket keeper for the national team. He needs to know how Rafique, Mash, Russel bowls in order to be prepared in case he is needed. (Remember K Mashud running to dressing room and Tushar keeping and missing stumping opportunity) The selectors were there for a reason. He is the only one from this bunch will see national time and will be included in the WC team. Therefore, the sooner he practices with the team the better for him and the team. Mehrab Jr. is more than capable of guiding the U-19 team for the rest of the matches. And the coach is there so why worry on game plan?
If SL selectors can excuse Chamara Kapugedera and include him in the best 11 and see time against McGrath, Lee; so can Bd selectors excuse Mushfique.
