I'd like to see Nasir move up the batting order a spot or two in Tests. I think he has sufficient experience and now is a vital cog in the batting. I don't think he'd suit a top order spot so I would keep him in the middle order, coming in after Mominul, in the number 5 slot. I think here he will be able to convert his many starts to hundreds.
This would put Shakib at 6 and Mushfiqur at 7. This may seem a little low in the order for those two, but given the fact that Shakib will probably be bowling till his arms are about to fall off, the extra rest will do him good. Likewise with Mushfiqur's wicket-keeping duties, the rest will should help him too. This would also mean that the number 4, 5 and 6 will go to out most fluent batsmen.
