There's 4 candidates - Anamul, Ashraful, Shamsur and Jahurul. Ziaur should definitely get dropped and I would give the #7 spot to either Milon or Shabbir or even to Shamsur or Jahurul.

Shakib at 4 because that way he holds the top order and middle order together. No 4 allows him to avoid opposition's best bowlers with the new ball spell. Many people can play shots during power plays but only the best can push on the momentum even when the field is spread out.
