I think it's fine that BD going home early. With so many passengers in the team, we would not put up meaningful fights against India-Pakistan anyway. Shakib now got an extra week to prep his boys for NZ-Pak-BD tri-series, which will matter much more in terms of WC prep.
He now has Liton, Yasir, and Shoriful on track for return. Hopefully Sohan and Hasan will complete their rehabs soon as well. Hope he's ready to move past Mushfiq-Riyad (at least Mushfiq, if not Riyad). He probably can leave Mahedi out as well, to accommodate another pacer in the squad. Needless to say, useless bench warmers like Bijoy, Naim, Emon will also have to be dropped.
