James, Nafees Iqbal will probably play in the one day series.
Because he hasn't shown enough consistent performance over the years, like Aftab Ahmed, so he was not included in the test series.

Monjurul Islam was ommitted from the side for his bowling too much outside the off stump (i.e., too negative bowling for Whatmore) and so he was out from the Bangladesh side along with Ashraful, and Sanwar.

Bangladesher Khela reports that Tapash and Aftab will be the men out.

But according to Cricinfo's Andrew Miller 1st test preview, Tapash Baisya will play and Mushfique is the one who is not in the first eleven-side.

I hope for Bangladesh's sake, the Cricinfo report is right.
