Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Kayes wasn't to be affected by this and instead took it upon himself to work his way back into the national side. It did take time, given the amount of talent in the country. Plus, the fact that Bangladesh cricket was on the rise also meant that he wouldn't have it easy at all. Kayes didn't give up though, and kept performing in domestic cricket and finally landed a recall in 2014. Having returned as a polished player, he has since then managed to be in the side on a regular basis, particularly in Tests. However, it's in ODIs that he has managed to show some sort of a resurgence although the consistency is still not as much as he would have liked. That said, 2016 and 2018 were good for the southpaw who couldn't make it to the 2019 World Cup.
Statistically, Kayes still has a long, long way to go before he can be regarded as a fine batsman in international cricket. His Test returns have been pathetic, given the long rope he has got and with young Shadman Islam having arrived, there is competition for Kayes. He hasn't learnt the art of being consistent and clearly, time is running out for him. He doesn't have to look beyond his opening partner Tamim who has turned things around in commendable fashion. Kayes definitely has a few more years of cricket left in him and it shall be interesting to see if he can last till the next World Cup in 2023.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Imrul Kayes is one half of Bangladesh's most successful opening partnership in Tests and ODIs. The other half is Tamim Iqbal, their most prolific opener. The pair holds the world record for the highest second-innings opening stand in Test cricket, which they achieved against Pakistan in 2015, when they stitched together 312, breaking a 55-year record set by Colin Cowdrey and Geoff Pullar in 1960.
What had made Imrul's 150 in that game more special was that he had kept wicket in place of Mushfiqur Rahim for 83 overs. But that hasn't changed the fact that Imrul has always had a tough time holding down his place in the Bangladesh side. In fact, in his first ten years in international cricket, he has missed more ODIs than he has played, and despite being more consistent than many of Tamim's partners, he has been easily dropped in Tests too.
Imrul started his international career in 2008, on the back of big domestic runs, and within two years, topped Bangladesh's ODI charts with 867 runs in 2010. He won Player-of-the-Match awards in Bangladesh's 2011 World Cup campaign, but by 2012, had lost his place again.
He then became a Test regular in 2014 and 2015, and by 2016, coach Chandika Hathurusingha had given him some direction in ODI cricket. That helped Imrul score his second century in the format against England.
After another up-and-down year in 2017, and similar form for much of 2018, Imrul was drafted into the Bangladesh team in the middle of the Asia Cup. After a match-winning effort against Afghanistan in a crucial game, Imrul made 349 runs, with two centuries and a fifty, against Zimbabwe in October. It was just 11 runs short of Babar Azam's world-record aggregate for a three-match ODI series.
