Would like to see the following side played against Sri Lanka.

Tamim Iqbal
Shahriar Nafees
Mohammad Ashraful (c)
Raqibul Hasan
Alok Kapali
Mushfiqur Rahim (wk)
Mahmudullah
Mashrafe Mortaza
Abdur Razzak
Mosharraf Hossain
Shahadat Hossain

The Sri Lankans might be traditionally good players of spin but in the past they have struggled against Daniel Vettori, Jeetan Patel, Graeme Swann etc. The key will be keeping Jayasuriya and Sangakarra in check early on, as the rest of their batting is quite weak. It will be up to Shahadat and Mashrafe to take wickets and allow Razzak, Mosharraf, Kapali and Mahmudullah to keep the run rate down. Ashraful may have to chip in with a few overs if his bowlers are proving too expensive. Pretty balanced team though.
