A series against Zim or WI can be useful if you know how to use it. Look at how India rested good number of seniors in their upcoming WI tour and using it to groom younger players, letting Dhawan leading the team. Prior to WC'07, a Zimbabwe tour actually helped us to groom a young core of players in Shakib-Mushfiq-Tamim.
We can use the T20I series to groom a new opener in Munim or Bijoy, as well as grooming couple of death bowlers. For the ODI series, ask seniors like Mushfiq, Riyad, Miraz, and Taskin to sit out. Let Tamim utilize it to groom others who are yet to find their feet firmly in this format. Ask Fizz to cut down on his cutters and learn to use his swings more.
