They might play in some of the warm up games, but unless we have some serious injuries or the rookies make a huge impact in the warm ups, I expect to see Mushfiq keeping wicket.
One of either mithun (probably purely as a batsman) and Shamsur may get a debut at some stage, but not both...I've been wrong before, but that's my expectation...

Shamsur will definetely play most of the matches. Mithun seems to be badly out of form and Zunaed is in good touch so he will retain the opening position with Tamim. Mithun can be tested out in the first couple of warm-ups if he fails then he can just warm the benches for the rest of the tournament. ATM this looks like the most probable starting XI for Bangladesh:
Tamim
Zunaed
Shamsur
Ashraful*
Raqibul
Shakib
Mashrafe
Mushfiq+
Razzak
Rubel
Rasel
Not my preferred XI but the XI I think is most likely to be fielded.
