i think the team is actually pretty good, tamim and nasir are obviously having a bad series which hasn't been helping, anamul and mominul are still new, i think in time they'll be pretty decent. then we have riyad and naeem, in ODIs riyad is the better player so i'd say keep him and replace naeem with either shuvagata or a pace allrounder (but one who bowls decently enough). a pace allrounder is a really good option because if they can bowl decently then it means on pitches that we aren't quite sure of we can still take all our major spin options because we just have one specialist pace and the pace allrounder is there is the wicket is giving more to the pacers than expected. but i think the team combination is actually the best it's ever been in this ODI series. the last 2 ODI failures are because the batsmen haven't handled it properly, but i believe the selection of the team for once was great.
