Bhyia Naeem plays at no 3 and no 4 in domestic cricket. You can check his matches in current NCL. I think that he is a top order material. Siddons made him a lower order batsman.

Those days are gone. Now Naeem dont bat above #4 in FC. And i think you have seen how terrible he looks when he plays at top order in ODI in recent past.

Naeem is not a limited over player. He never has been. His inability to rotate strike makes sometimes makes him funny when playing in ODI.

We need an innings builder in the top order. Naeem seems to be the only suitable person for that. If he plays then he has to bat within top 5. He likes to take time and build his innings. If he plays down the order, I am afraid he won't be able to be much effective.

No Nazmul, No Enamul Haque Jr. otherwise an ok squad, can't say I am happy with this squad.

1) Tamim
2) Nazim
3) Naeem Islam
4) Shakib al Hasan
5) Mahmudullah Riyad
6) Mushfiqur Rahim
7) Nasir Hossain
8) Shohag Gazi
9) Elias Sunny
10) Rubel Hossain
11) Shahadat Hossain*

*Wish Nazmul Hossain/Enamul Haque Jr. was there*

pitch Recommendation: not a batting paradise nor a minefield, opt for something in between that offers something for the spinners, something for the batsmen. a Dry Turning wicket will do!

an alternative:

1) Tamim
2) Nazim
3) Zunaid Siddique(has a decent test record by our standards....)
4) Naeem Islam
5) Shakib al Hasan
6) Nasir Hossain
7) Mushfiqur Rahim(wk) (c)
8) Mahmudullah Riyad
9) Shohag Gazi
10) Elias Sunny
11) Rubel Hossain

we do not have that many pace options anyways.....

[shakibrulz]

Someone please remind me why the HELL Abul is in the squad and Enamul isn't? The guy fails in T20, has a below par NCL, and he's still getting included in the national squad? Even when he's far below the pecking order compared to bowlers like Alauddin Babu etc. let alone Enamul?

[shakibrulz]

Anyways, this seems to be an OK XI from the squad:

1. Tamim
2. Junaid
3. Naeem
4. Shakib
5. Mushfiqur+
6. Mahmudullah
7. Nasir
8. Gazi
9. Sunny
10. Rubel
11. Shahadat

Decent batting and bowling depth, on paper.

[WarWolf]

Abul has played only 6 FC matches and taken only 8 wickets. Nothing impressive at all. His FC average is 43.37 and SR is 88.6.

If they could try Abul then why not Al Amin. Al Amin has played 10 FC matches and taken 40 wickets averaging 16.95 and at a SR of 34.5.

Akram and co. don't have minimum sense. They should go NOW. Enough is enough.

Good luck to Bangladesh Cricket Team. Ram,Sham,Jodu and Modu who cares if the team does well.

Shipon bhai seems have gotten frustrated.

Bhai after coming such a long way please keep the faith.

What do you mean by frustrated?

I am with Bangladesh Cricket Team whether they win or loose. If you refer to a player I prefer who does not get selected for good reason (completely out of touch) then I am even happier.

Only player who I think is unfairly left out is Enam Jnr but which SLA would you left out to get him in to team. Shakib or Elias.

Actually I misunderstood. By reading your last post I thought you became a bit frustrated which periodically happens with almost all of us.

Sunny has to be discarded from the team if Enam has to come in the team. I think he might get the call if Sunny doesn't perform well in the first test.

[Gowza]

wow horrible selection. abul? plus nazim, SN and junaid? i hope naeem gets in the XI. nazim i can understand that want to give him a few more tries (even though i disagree with it) but having both SN and junaid in there isn't needed. 4 of the spots in the squad are taken up by top 3 batsmen and it's a hime test match where if injury happens someone can be called in as a replacement, they should have decided on their top 3 and taken just them, unless SN is being looked at as a middle order option but then there's already nasir, shakib, naeem, riyad and mushy so i don't see how he'd get into the XI as a middle order bat.

would have been very much worth selecting at least one of anamul or mominul even if they didn't get to play.

i hope gazi gets his debut but i seriously hope it isn't at the expense of sunny. abul, rubel and shahadat all being there is wrong to. 3 quicks there but all are wayward. needed nazmul there for sure, other good pacer picks would have been kazi kamrul, shafiul, al amin, abu jayed, even alauddin.

Well, selectors played it safe as usual. I am not happy but so upset either.

Though, all three deserves another chance according to their last test performances. If they fail, Anamul and Mominul should be given a chance.

And Enam should be in the 2nd test if Sunny or Gazi fails to perform.

[riajul]

why abul, sn and big z ? no mominul ?

They always are.

[jeesh]

There are a few positives though. One positive is they are shielding Mominul and Anamul. Many will not agree, but its better to allow them to keep performing in FC and maybe a few more A Team tours. Sohag Gazi's selection is also another positive. Selectors have probably realized we need variation in the spin attack and included him. Think about it, better to have Gazi than both Enamul and Sunny. And how can you drop Sunny considering what he did against the same opposition a year ago.

Selectors must also be praised for not selecting Razzak, it was a pretty bold decision considering Razzak is the leading wicket taker so far in NCL.

Agreed 100%. Although I would have played the Haques, I think they might get called up for the 2nd test if guys in teh current squad crap in their pants. And I suppose this is not a terrible decision by the selectors (if in fact this is what they were thinking, which I think is possible since they selected the best possible prelim 22).
