Exactly my thought. As we are missing a solid basmen in # 2, #3 and #4 and the way the selectors has selected the squad for this series the only option to fill up these positions is by moving the entire middle order and lower middle order up. That way Nasir will get a chance to score big without feeling the pressure of batting at the top.

The team should be: 1. Tamim 2. Imrul/ Nafees ( I don't want to see both of them playing the XI in the same match) 3. Mushy (he could even open with Tamim, he did well in the past once when he opened) 4. Shakib 5. Nasir 6. Riyad 7. Naeem 8. Alok 9. Sunny 10. Rubel 11. Shafi (I wish Nazmul was given a chance )
