i think it's probably best to only make minimal changes. i think junaid or riyad should take mehrab's place and probably any of junaid, naeem or riyad could take raqibul's place. reza could take one of the pacers place but both mash and nazmul did a good job in the first ODI and shahadat is the only real wicket taker so i don't think leaving him out is a good idea.
thing is naeem has no international experience and junaid's been in bad form lately so neither player are an ideal replacement for raqibul. i like riyad in the team simply because he offers a different type of bowling option to those already in the team though i'm not sold these days that he's good enough with the bat to take the place of a specialist batsman. imo it's a tricky team to pick atm. if mehrab is kept then either riyad or junaid will probably get picked, if merhab isn't picked then probably both junaid and riyad will get the nod. it's just a really tough series to debut in so i'm not sure they'd go with naeem.
