The Sri Lanka tour will show us where we stand. Sri Lankan pitches can surprise most people as it offers swing early on and assist spinners later. Our batsman will be tested by their varied spin attack as well as decent pace attack. I think Shohag Gazi will find a lot of success and also Enamul Hq Jr.
In terms of pacers, if we look at their successful pacers over the years like Vaas or Kulesekara we would know that medium pacers have had a decent amount of impact there. We could gamble with medium pacers who has good control over erratic faster bowlers with no strategy. I don't think debuting someone from the domestic with decent FC average would do too much damage to our chances. Whatever pace options we choose our bowling fortunes will rely basically on how well our spinners bowl on Sri Lankan wickets. If the pacers can get one opener out cheaply it would be a bonus for us.
