Solution for Top Order?
The problem seems to be far from over. Mushfiq, Riyad, Nasir, Naeem can make the team as decent middle order batsmen, and that's where they should should stay (#4 and down).
We played musical chair this series with ZS, SN, and Omi, and I don't see any reason to call any of them back.
Anam also needs to be protected, at least for next year or so. IMO, he should come one down, not as an opener.
At this point, I see Imrul as an stop gap option, to open with Tamim. Hopefully Anam will become solid with time, and take up opener slot eventually, leaving the #3 slot to be taken by a new comer.
