We needed Shadat against Sril Lanka .... not Bermuda ... a team like Bermuda can only gain from his wary line & length. Against SL we needed his certain good balls to take a few wickets ... against Bermuda, our lineup for the first 2 matches are good enough, especially since we want to have a very convincing victory.
Only argument in favor of playing Shahadat may be, giving him some match practice before playing Australia / SA, where we may need him again.
I always view Shahadat as a stock bowler, only to be used in tough matches expecting some miracle from him. Unless, of course, he can establish more control in his line & length.
