Eng vs BD test series : Ashraful dropped and 3 left armers selected Senior Cricket Australia official Michael Brown admits Michael Clarke is no certainty to take part in the upcoming two Test tour of New Zealand starting beginning next Friday. More... Ashraful dropped for England Tests Andrew Miller in Chittagong March 9, 2010 Bangladesh's most-capped cricketer, Mohammad Ashraful, has been omitted from the Test squad for the forthcoming series against England, after failing to convince the selectors that he is in the right frame of mind to resume his international career. Ashraful, 25, missed last week's ODI series in a bid to recapture his form following a poor tour of New Zealand, but in consecutive first-class matches for Dhaka Division, he made 21 runs in four innings, including three ducks. His final chance to impress the selectors came during his captaincy stint for Bangladesh A against England at Chittagong, but having managed just 1 in the first innings, he was bowled by Amjal Shahzad for 30 on the third and final morning of the match. Ashraful has played in 53 of Bangladesh's 64 Tests to date, having made his mark with a debut century against Sri Lanka in November 2001, when he was just 16 years old. However, he has never yet featured in a home Test against England, having been dropped for the 2003 series, again due to a loss of form. The Bangladesh selectors have named a 14-man squad which includes the centurion from the warm-up match, Raqibul Hasan, as well as no fewer than three left-arm spinners - the captain Shakib Al Hasan, Abdur Razzak and Enamul Haque Jr - in response to Kevin Pietersen's much-publicised problems against that style of bowling. Ironically, Pietersen fell to Ashraful's spin for 20 on the final afternoon of the tour match. Bangladesh squad Shakib Al Hasan (capt), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Junaid Siddique, Aftab Ahmed, Mahmudullah, Raqibul Hasan, Naeem Islam, Rubel Hossain, Shafiul Islam, Abdur Razzak, Enamul Haque Jr, Shahadat Hossain.

http://www.cricinfo.com/bdeshveng2010/content/current/story/451459.html Raqibul Hasan quits international cricket Cricinfo staff March 10, 2010 Bangladesh's plans for the first Test against England have been thrown in disarray after Raqibul Hasan, the 22-year-old middle-order batsman, retired from international cricket on the eve of the series. Sources told Cricinfo that the situation stems from a disagreement between the board and the selectors over the inclusion of Raqibul for the Test at Chittagong which starts on Friday. The board had wanted Raqibul to be dropped along with Mohammad Ashraful, who was omitted from the squad having also missed the one-day series. However, Raqibul impressed for Bangladesh A against England in the warm-up match when he followed his first-innings unbeaten 107 with 51 and was duly named in the Test party. "The selectors were told by the board to drop Raqibul and Ashraful from the Test squad," a BCB insider told Cricinfo. "The selectors refused to drop Raqibul after he scored a century and a fifty in the warm-up game at Chittagong and Raqibul has returned to Dhaka feeling that his position in the team is compromised." Raqibul was inked in for a middle-order slot against England, ironically as a replacement for Ashraful, having previously been dropped following a lean series against India in January. He has played seven Tests with a top score of 65 against West Indies and averages 19.14. "He wrote a letter to us this morning, withdrawing himself from the Test series against England. He also announced his retirement from all forms of cricket," Bangladesh cricket board director Jalal Yunus told AFP. "It has stunned us. He is a brilliant cricketer and played two superb knocks against England just days back. Coach Jamie Siddons and Raqibul's parents tried to change his mind. But he is adamant." There was no immediate word from the Bangladesh camp as to any replacement in the squad for Raqibul.

^Yup he has quit all forms of cricket not just International. This b*stard Lotus Kamal has ruined BCB since he took over.
Even domestic stuff? Wow - that's crazy, even if he has a problem with the BCB over this current Test selection, quitting all forms of the game at his young age is madness

Don't worry Bangla fans, many posters here will be eating their words. Bangladesh gave a good fight to India and have been playing some good cricket for last couple of months....anything is possible. :winky:
