Former chief selector Faruk Ahmed said that national selectors have formed the best possible for the upcoming World Cup and believe they can go far if they can play to their potential.

BCB on April 16 announced a 15-member squad for the World Cup that included uncapped Abu Jayed in an otherwise settled squad that had been playing for the lasy couple of years.

‘’I believe this was the best possible squad of Bangladesh and added that he welcomes the decision of picking uncapped Abu Jayed due to his long domestic career as well as his ability to swing the ball.

‘’I think this is the best possible squad available. One leg spinner would have been good for the variety of the team. We have some core players who have already played three WC. I hope they will do well. Now it’s up to the players to go out there and perform,’’ said Faruk.

‘’I think Rahi [ Abu Jayed] is a good pick. Some surprise element is good for the team. We all know he hasn’t played much ODI cricket. Last five years, he has been a consistence performer for his domestic side, that experience will help him,’’ he said.
