Mushy is just out of form now. When in form, he's a world-class ODI batsman and an OK T20 one. He's our best WK-batsman.
#2 and #7 are the key weaknesses in the batting lineup. Hopefully, one of Soumya and Anamul will come good. Both have potential. #7 is a bigger worry. Currently, there's no good power-hitting batsman on the horizon.
This is probably the best T20 team we can field now:
Tamim
Anamul
Sabbir
Shakib
Mushfiq
Mahmudullah
Soumya
Mashrafe (unless he's retiring)
Taijul/Al-Amin (selection based on pitch/conditions)
Taskin
Mustafiz
That's where Soumya plays in Tests. He shouldn't be playing Tests, but he could do a decent job there in the T20 format.
As far as bowling is concerned, would like to see Taijul given a chance as our spin option in Arafat's stead. And Mash should bowl 2-3 overs and give Mahmudullah 1-2.
