We lack a grafter in this lineup. Somebody who could dig in and see off the new ball. All seem to be stroke players.
My biggest concern is Soumya, who has had a horror 1 year in all forms of cricket, will now be opening in a Test Match.
The other concern is Shakib's batting which is going downwards. With his "jodi laiga jai" batting approach, he might be useful lower down the order with the tail.
My hopes are on Tamim Ryad and Mushfiq. Hopefully these three can save us from an embarrassment.
