Latest rumor - Nasum is getting the chop to make space for Soumya. Sriram wants a lefty opener, three candidates in consideration are Soumya, Naim, and Emon. Soumya is being preferred as he has a T20I fifty in NZ last year, selectors are expecting him to revive his form on NZ-AUS pitches. They're considering him as a death over bowling option as well.
IMO, it would have been better to leave out Riyad to make space for Soumya, but don't think that's happening.
