Bangladesh pick five uncapped players for Sri Lanka T20I

[Gowza]

They've done a good job picking these 5 players, all are deserving. Think anamul and maybe even Soumya should also be in the squad but at least some new young players suited to the format are being picked. Mithun also could've been given a chance. Here's hoping some of them get into the XI.

[jeesh]

While i like the bold selections, it feels as if we have gone back to our unpredictable selection strategies of early years.

[Rinathq]

Great squad.. my XI would be

Tamim
Soumya
Shakib
Zakir (wk)
Riyad
Ariful
Afif
Saifuddin
Abu Jayed
Fizz
Rubel


plenty of bowling. Obviously heavy seam attack cause our seamers have performed well in BPL. Fizz-Jayed-Rubel-Saifuddin-Shak-Afif-Riyad... thats a strong bowling on paper. Batting looks good with Zakir-Riyad-Ariful in the middle. No Shabbir. He is not a T20 material either. And hopefully no Mushy although they will probably play him

[MHRAM]

Sabbir will be picked. So will be mushy.

Probable team:

Tamim
Soumya
Sabbir
Mushy
Shakib
Riad
Ariful
Afif
Saifuddin
Fizz
Rahi

সাকিব খেলতে পারবেন না মিনহাজুল তা জানতেন!

• শ্রীলঙ্কার বিপক্ষে প্রথম টি-টোয়েন্টি ম্যাচে নেই সাকিব।
• মাঠে ফিরতে পারেন সিরিজের দ্বিতীয় ম্যাচে।

Shakib probably won't be fit for this series. Mithun Ali should be his replacement and riad should be captain

My squad will be

Tamim
Soumya
Mithun (after inclusion, I am assuming)/ zakir
Sabbir
Mahmudullah
Ariful
Mahedi
Saifuddin
Mustafiz
Abu jayed Rahi/ Abu hider
Rubel hossain

Sabbir Riyad both?

I would rather have one of them at the same time.

Bring Afif or ithun instead.

Zakir is must for 1st T20.

[Gowza]

Riyad should prob captain, mushy shouldn’t even make the XI, sabbir will have to play won’t he? Otherwise why did he play that test match? Ridiculous selection that.

[adamnsu]

T20 is not Mushfiqur’s cup of tea but Shabbir’s Oscar. He should actually open IMO.

[Gowza]

shakib most likely won’t play, couple more weeks of healing still.

[Mridul]

Why is Soumya in the team? He was terrible in BPL.

[Match Adda]

It will be a great t20 entertaining time for Bd squad.. after including some talented new players, can’t wait to see the match. Believe, Bd has something to offer this time.

[One World]

Unfortunately, Iceman cannot play the first match.
