I light of the dew factor, I reckon it would be better fielding 3 seamers. Jia will be missed. If and when need be, a spinner and NOT Banglar Flintoff can replace Koushik. So, based on the players in the XV: -
1. Mrs. Benson (Bat & Huff-Puff): Unfit (dom, not bhuri) and suffering from self doubt, he's just one good knock away from giving us a string of high 30s. Then he'll run out of battery and throw his wicket away.
2. Kopa (Bat): I'm not sure how he'll cope with real pace on the tournament's sporting wickets, but worth a try.
3. Bijoy (Bat & WK): His preferred position.
4. Shourobh (Bat & PT Bowl): Won't do worse than Nasir.
5. Shakib (Bat & Bowl): Abar jigay.
6. HaBa 2.0 (Bat & Brain Freeze): Abar jigay.
7. Rumman (Bat & PT Bowl): Contrary to what we've seen so far, he *can* hit from the word go. But it is always better to get your eye in with some singles. A player like him quickly learns from experience and I'm sure he'd take less and less time to settle-in, especially in this format.
8. BhaBha (Bowl & ?): Won't be dropped. His bowling may come in handy.
9. Koushik (Bowl & Slog): Still our best new ball bowler. Can slog. Just don't bowl him at death.
10. Al-Amin (Bowl): Looks aren't everything.
11. Taskin (Bowl): Has aggression, pace and swings the ball in early. Persist with him.
*** *** ***
12: Gazi (Bowl & Slog): He can replace Koushik if and when necessary.
