tbh i'd be giving guys like naeem and shuvagoto a go in home tests, home tests are a great place to try newer talent, more accustomed to the conditions....also what about dhiman? could play rahim as a specialist bat and have dhiman as the keeper, better quality keeping, rahim can focus more on batting which would hopefully strengthen the batting and dhiman isn't a slouch with the bat....plus shuvo as a spinning option....especially at home.

We don't have a sure shot replacement of IK. Anyone else comes even might be worse. IK is a hard working cricketer and that makes me more hopeful about him in future than bringing in other guys at the risk of losing more.

true, don't really have a replacement unless we put SN or junaid as 2nd opener and junaid has done much better as the #3. so for me that leaves imrul or SN as the 2nd opener. it's a tough choice because imrul really hasn't performed in tests and SN is probably better as a middle order/1st drop.
