I thought he was part of our core team here... the fav 5 +imrul. However
A slight problem with his selection now is that the way tamim has evolved. Before tamim used to be attacking so Imruls role as sedating was vital but these days tamim is an anchor and if imrul also plays slowly - we will always never be able to take advantage of early restrictive fielding and will lag behind in run rate... if it's a 240 ish pitch great but if (more common these days) if its a 320 pitch then tamim imrul combination may become a burden.
England pitches are usually high scoring ones. So Imrul should make the 15 but not sure if he should make the 11 if rest are firing. Sarker as a partner to tamim is more appealing in this format because of his aggressiveness when tamim takes forever to build.
