If Anamul to be picked, he should not bat in the top order, but as the keeper-batsman for the lower order. In that case, Mushfiq should be the one-down, even if he keeps for part of the match (as opposed to giving up gloves for good atm).
Another thing to consider is - Imrul at best is a stop gap option. Should the selectors waste another match on him? It may be more worthwhile giving Marshall a try as an opener (he is technically sound enough for the role, don't know about mentality).
So, my alternative XI would be -
Tamim
Marshall
Mushfiq
Momin
Shakib
Riyad (may be unfair to demote him atm, but he is still not a better batsman than Momin or Shak, to bat ahead of them)
Hom
Anam
Taijul
Rubel
Jubair
