Any \'official\' news on who will play tomorrow?
Saw the BBC & Cricinfo's preview/press conference/pre-tour press conference, also saw Channel I's news, but I didn't hear about any news on the final team selection for tomorrow's match against the British Universities.
Did any of the other channels show any names for tomorrow?

i think the team will be announced before the toss. so, we've to wait 'til tomorrow morning 6AM EDT to find out the names. as CricInfo is gonna have live coverage, i can't help but wake up at 6AM. between the best part of sleep and a tour match, its a delimma.

Bangladesh to stage full strength-
The Tigers, who reached London on Saturday to mark their first full series in England, have reportedly decided to put all their key weapons on display in the three-day match at the Fenner's ground at Cambridge .....
.....there was a strong possibility of fielding three pacers Mashrafee-Bin-Mortuza, Tapash Baisya and Shahadat along with two spinners Mohammad Rafique and Enamul Haque.
The only bad news is that top-order batsman Aftab Ahmed, who is running fever, might miss the game.

According to BBC Weather, rain will stop pretty soon. Hopefully, Fenner's has good drainage system to be dried out by 10:00 am tommorrow.

They are willing to sacrifice a batsman, according to the report, so Enamul can have a go. They regard him highly obviously. I am not so 100% sure if we will go with three pacers, as convetional logic demands for early english conditions, for our test matches. They might defy the convention and include both Rafiq and Enamul. Well, we shall wait and see.

I think early morning damp Fenner's pitch may change Whatmore's mind to play Talha/Munir instead of Enamul.

It should declare at 8:00 am tommorrow morning at cricinfo . That's the better time to declare the team anyway just depending on the pitch .Just click on live coverage of cricinfo and then click on the match it should be in there by then .

If Aftab is not playing and Shahadat is (according to DS)--assuming Monir, Talha, and Mushfiqur Rahim are not playing--then the team has to be:
Habibul Bashar
Javed Omar
Nafees Iqbal
Mohammad Ashraful
Rajin Saleh
Khaled Mashud
Shahriar Nafees OR Enamul Huq Jnr
Mohammad Rafique
Mashrafee-Bin-Mortuza
Tapash Baisya
Shahadat Hossain

If you can't do the business with three quicks, then you wont with four.
This attack has variety ... one young quick, two older hardheads, a flat slow-medium SLA and a young, big-turning looping SLA.

This is an excellent opportunity to try out prospective quickies and let them work on their line and length. There will be nothing in the pitch for Enamul.
