Bravo Sr is about the only legitimate pick, but even then, when was the last time he played for the WI? How many matches has he won? He's got a batting average of just 24, a bowling average above 30, and isn't express enough to trouble us like a Roach or Best.
You can try and downplay it but the facts remain that Ramdin, Charles and Bravo ALL PLAYED in our last odi series which was against NZ and we won it 4-1, they were also part of the WORLD CUP winning team, so you can mock their stats all you like, but the truth is at international level they've won more than every Bangladesh player thats ever played the game,

Furthermore i don't know how people can claim "it's our best team" when both Powell and Permaul made their debuts in this series and haven't played an odi before now!! .
