mehrab jr, really? what's he done to get a call back? for me naeem is the only batsman who deserves a call to the national team, otherwise the best way to strengthen the batting is to move riyad and rahim further up the order. what other options are there? mehrab, NI, shamsur, nazmus, aftab, alok, marshall etc. they've all got talent but havean't shown the consistency and some have no experience. naeem has international experience and has shown to be somewhat reliable in ODIs, has a decent FC record and is in good form (just got that not out FC century in the last match). honestly i don't see any other option other than naeem when it comes to batting.

i actually forgot about the possibiliy of bringing in a specialist keeper but the only option there is dhiman and his batting probably isn't up to scratch. also maybe i'm being naive or just stupid but for me shuvo can only strengthen the team both in bowling and batting.
