Whatever we do, we should take just one pacer. Please be brave this time.
My team (second time I am making team)
Openers:
Tamim Iqbal: Automatic choice
Imrul Kayes: I would say this test should be last chance for test. Play as ODI specialist if you cannot convert your starts to at least 50 in tests.
No .3
Rokibul Hasan - We need a cool head like him at no 3.
Middle Order:
Mushfiqur Rahim: Automatic choice, VC, and our best test batsmen should come at 4.
Shakib Al-Hasan: Automatic choice, C.
Mahmudullah Riyad: I hope he can replicate his performance of last two test series. Hope Shak should use his bowling more.
Nayeem Islam: We need mentally tough blokes like him in the test squad.
Spinners:
Mehrab Hossain Jnr: He can play as a spinner only. His batting is a plus.
Abdur Razzaq: It will be silly leave him out after his ODI performance.
Saqlain Sajib: Trump Card
Pace Bowler:
Rubel Hossain: We can only afford one pace bowler given the current situation.
In this way, we can have 8 batsmen
, six spinners
.
After seeing Tradwell today, if we do not take at least one specialist spinner aside Shakib, it will be mistake of the century. I would say take two specialist spinner aside Shakib.
