I think it would be harsh to drop Riyad now considering he's actually been a performer in this format; in the last 26 ODIs his batting average is 50, SR 82 and bowling wise 20 wickets at an average of 30.
OK quite a few of those might have been in games we lost but he was a match-winner in the series win against the West Indies.
Question is where does he fit in, the only spot available when everyone is fit is probably number 7.
His ideal role would probably be coming in at 5 but that spot is taken unless we shove Shakib and Mushy up to 3 and 4 then Riyad and Nasir. But that would mean no spot for Mominul (apart from at 7 where he's not suited to).
Well at least now we have competition for places remember the times when we had a revolving door of Kayes, Nafees, Junaid and Nazimuddin....
