Mushfiq, Shakib and Tamim is out of the question due to injuries. Mash should be rested too imo

Only senior that should be playing is Riyad and he should also captain the team.

Lets face it, the youngsters coming out of the domestic scene with heavy numbers are just awful when put into the international scene. We don't have the quality and exposure in our domestics to better equip the young players before their debut, hence they look as if they never held a bat in their lives. Its also not fair for them to be thrown in to the international scene during high profile tours and tournaments and then be discarded for faults out of their control. Its better we start them off against weaker teams at home so they get a better understanding of what international cricket requires and to get rid of the mindset that they can approach it the way they do in their domestic games. There is no better time than sorry excuse of this current Zimbabwe team touring BD next month for these young players that are going to be carrying this team in a couple years to start gaining experience.

Also players such as Riyad, Liton, Imrul, Miraz, Rubel etc are not considered new anymore and would be decent guiding hands in the team. Even with these players we do not have any excuse to be losing to Zim at home.

My XI

1) Liton
2) SS (desperately need him to come back to form, the quality of Zim might be what it takes to bring back his confidence)
3) Shanto
4) Mossadek
5) Imrul
6) Mithun/Riyad (C)
7) Riyad (C)/Ariful
8) Mehedi
9) Taskin/ Rony/ Any other upcoming pacer?
10) Rubel/ Jayed
11) Complementary SLA for Zim/ Or an upcoming spinner
