For the first test. I look at it this way.
1. One of Aftab and Rajin plays
2. One of Taposh and Enamul plays
3. Talha, Shahriar Nafees and Munir are out for the time being
4. The remaining 9 are automatic for the first test
#1 and #2 are sort of related. If Aftab plays then it makes more sense to include Enamul, because with Aftab we have 3 pace bowlers of some sort. If Aftab bats well then this is the best combination for now. I am putting lots of "ifs". This gives us more variety by including Enamul. Even though this is England during early summer, we are stronger in spin than pace bowling. If Rajin plays then I guess Taposh has to play, otherwise we are one short in the pace department.
The other thing that I wish is our tail to wag as it most often does. Otherwise we are in big trouble.
Whoever plays in the final XI, I wish they don't give up without a decent fight. And I believe they won't.
