4) Mushfiqur Rahim
5) Nasir Hossain
6) Ziaur Rahman
7) Alauddin Babu(wildcard, can hit) should not bowl until proven to be effective!
8) Mashrafee Mortaza
9) Rubel Hossain(if not fit, Nazmul Hossain)
10) Abdur Razzak
11) Enamul Haque jr./Elias Sunny/Arafat Sunny
if naeem plays then i think he should be batting in the top 6, #7 spot is generally for a keeper or an allrounder, you don't put a specialist bat there. that means riyad or nazimuddin would have to step aside to fit him in.

also shakib at #3 in tests is a big ask of him, don't forget he's also the main go to strike bowler.

for t20s i'd swap someone for zia personally, he's a hit and miss batsman, not even really a batsman just a slogger and doesn't offer enough with the ball.
