Mediocre allrounder like Riyadh, Naeem should be rested to bring in new ones like Shabbir.
Play SN as #3
Play Alok as #4, resting Sir Ash and Roq. I think, he is capable of playing long innings, can play both spin and pace and can accelerate if settled. It does not have to be Alok, anyone else that can play this role is fine. A prime example of a perfect #4 is ten Doeschate (except his impatience at times)
Mash will be also in. Try with 3 pacers (Shafi and Rubel) with Raj and Shakib being the spinners. Alok and Co. can be the part timers. A line-length medium pace allrounder (ten Doeschate type) may be also helpful.

Alok is dead duck against quality bowling. He's better off playing down the order, if he plays at all. Riyad is the one who should play at the top order imo, he's capable of playing such long innings once he gets in.
I agree with replacing Naeem with a big hitter like Shabbir though.
