i would still persist with ash, since he's had the 2nd highest runs scorer since Oct 2008, and since every top order bat (except tamim) has failed this series, his relative standing won't have gone down much. keep him till the england series.

but other than that, we need to make some changes, and we also need to prepare for a lineup without ash. two potential lineups:

1) tamim
2) imrul - if he continues to provide 50+ stands, why not keep him?
3) rahim - he's just the best we have for this position in ODIs.
4) sakib
5) ash/aftab - let them go boom in the final overs
6) naeem - both he and riyad can be moved up a slot to move ash/aftab down to 7
7) riyad
8) mashrafee
9) shafiul
10) razzak/rubel/nazmul
11) rasel/rajib

1) tamim
2) imrul
3) rahim
4) sakib
5) naeem
6) riyad
7) specialist keeper/specialist late order batsman.
8) mashrafee
9) shafiul
10) rubel/razzak/nazmul
11) rasel
