I hope ICL can exist in some way as an ICC approved league. It would be a shame for all the BD, PAK, NZ and Indians who play in the league to not be able to make the money they were.

I never agreed with the ban of the players to begin with so it will be good see the boys back in the national team again. With the T20 world cup this year, I think if allowed, the DW experience in ICL will prove invaluable. I think the following players are due for a callback based on their ICL performance

SN : ODI and T20, possibly even Test. Nafees at any give time period still had better avg. then other members of the team. His crime was he didn't live up to the expectations of the performing Nafees. Compared to other BD batsmen he was always among the best

AA: ODI and T20. Perfect #3 for T20. Use the powerplay overs, get the runs, keep the RR going. Can be a good 6 or 7 in ODI. Excellent fielder

AK : ODI and T20. ICL performance was amazing. Batting showed composure and temperment throughout the tournamen was pure professional

Rubel : ODI and T20.

Dhiman: All forms. His keeping is much better than Mushy. Mushy makes the ODI and Test team as a specialist batsman anyways.

Rafique : Tests. May have another year in him if talked out of retirement. Still has fight left in him.

I'm imagining a T20 XI for the World cup as

Tamim
Nafees (c)
Aftab
Kapali
Ashraful
Shakib
Dhiman
Mashrafe
Rubel
Rasel
1 more pacer/medium pacer
