Agreed, both Shah and Bopara had opportunities in ODI cricket but there were also large gaps in those careers and in terms of the latter, which you haven't addressed, a complete disregard by the ECB for his personal issues whereas people like Trott were championed.

In all honesty, with the recent "scandal" it's pretty clear how the ECB has behaved with players of colour.
what personal issues did bopara have? i genuinely don't remember any of this.

I don't know what the issues were but Bopara took time away from England as a result of them, which resulted in him barely being give na chance after he returned, thus effectively ending his England career. I'm guessing you could try and find some old articles online.
