Shakib is certainly capable of power hitting, so is riyad if he's in the team. Mosaddek and nasir if they get a few overs will score at a 100+ strike rate, they might not hit as many 6s but they still score quickly.
Also take a look at domestic results, shanto actually hits quite a few 6s, he's also young and could do with early international exposure so a possible introduction for him could be down the order. Liton could possibly take over the gloves and bat low as he also scores quickly. Even anamul, could become a lower order hitter, if he his given strict instructions to go out and hit he could be an option.
I think it's more important to set up the top order and middle order before the lower order because a really good top order will still get us 300+ then the middle and lower order will get us right up past there whereas an average top order will always put pressure on the middle and lower order. Imo doing it that way gives us more opportunity more often to score 300+, it's tough to except the lower order to do all the work all the work all the time, top order need to be working to the team score also and try and take some pressure off the lower order.
Tamim isn't that quick starter he used to be, if Soumya gets out early, we don't have anyone up top to get the innings off relatively quickly unless someone like Sabbir is there. Now I'm not saying he should be always trying to score at 100+ strike rate but he naturally scores quickly so if he dials it back a bit and aims for an 85/90+ strike rate to begin with (even if he takes a few balls to get in) then the team is going to benefit immensely. That's why mushy is also an option at 2. After these two I'd say mosa and nasir are possibly equipped to play this role also, maybe liton and shanto might be. But to me those are the options for 3.
As far as Sabbir, he isn't purely a lower order bat, most of his domestic career he's batted 4-6 which imo clearly categorises him as middle order. We can say don't bring players up the order but look at the fab 4: Williamson, smith, Kohli, root. They aren't openers and haven't always been no3s but are the worlds best currently.
A no3 doesn't have to be an opener, plenty come up from the middle order to bat at 3.
Williamson debuted at 4, root didn't even bat in his debut match and 6 walked onto the park with the blade, Kohli actually opened (didn't know that, was he a regular opener in domestics before international debut?), smith also didn't bat in his debut ODI and 7 did so he would've at best come in at 8.
Sabbir may not turn out at 3, but so far who has? And please don't say imrul because in a modern day context his strike rate isn't high enough, he might be our best to date but that doesn't mean he is the way forward. Imrul migh be our best option now but if players are developed properly we will have a better option at 3 than imrul in the next couple of years but they need the time to get experience and develop.
The point of my post is to say, be open to different options. Kohli didn't stay as opener, Williamson didn't remain at 4, smith and root no longer bat at 7/8.
