Kayes was becoming a good test player till recently he discovered a habit and obsession for pull shot (since the ton against Eng during the ODI). Recent test, Kayes got out cheaply, over doing the pull, hook shots, far too easily.This could be a blessing in disguise he's out of the test. Gives, Soumya a guranteed place, Liton a space. Surely, have to take Litton in considering, both Liton and Soumya did have good time in the middle, in the practice.
This my final XI:
Tamim
Soumya
Mominul
Mushy
Liton
Shakib
Sabbir
Mehedi
Kamrul
Subasish
Taskin
I was going to give Mahmudullah one last test, but he doesn't bowl much, has not scored runs at test, can't field well. Really don't know what he offers other than being the, 'elder statesman' - (Shamim C).
No point playing, another spinner, when you have two already. Sakib at 6 gives him enough time to recover bowling long spells. Plus they play spin well. But if the wicket is a turning one, I would drop one of the pacers, Subashish for Taijul.
InshAllah BD will get a good result
