Why can't we persist with the replacements for the 6 ODIs vs. ENG (home and away) and take away the pressure on them to perform first game or they're out (like we did for SN in IND test and Aftab in NZ T20)?

This should be applicable if the replacements are SN, Aftab or someone new like Rony or Forhad or whoever.

Mahmadullah and Naeem are more than capable of taking up slots 4 and 5 so replacing Raqib is really not a concern. Drop Shakib down and to become the late slogger during batting powerplays, replace Mushfiq with a more capable keeper and I think we can be in much better shape without mass overhaul of the team.
