Ok. Heres my team:

1. Tamim
2. Imrul
3. Shahriar
4. Mushfiq
5. Shakib
6. Alok
7. Shuvagoto
8. Mashrafe
9. Shafi
10. Razzak
11. Rubel
12. Shuhrawardi

7 batsmen (including 2 allrounders- Alok & Shakib) and 4 bowlers. Above combination gives up plenty of batting (upto 8/9) and bowling options (5 genuine bowlers+ 2 part timers) and variations. Moreover, no bits and pieces player.
The one player I had to pick for lack of choice is Mushfiq. Since we have Alok and Shuvagoto in the team we can't play him at no. 6. So he should be moved up to no.4. Thats where he should always bat. He is not good down the order. If he fails at no.4 in the long run, he should be replaced instead of sending to no.6 again.

But I know this is not the team our team mgt will go with. They wont play three pacers. They will try to choke Australia with our world class spinners as if Aussies play spin worse than us. And Jamie wont leave both Rokibul and Riyad out. So the probale team would be:

1.Tamim
2.Imrul
3.Shariar
4.Rokibul
5.Shakib
6.Mushfiq
7.Alok/Shurawardi
8.Riyad
9.Mashrafe
10.Shafi
11.Razzak
