Your ODI Squad for NZ Series

[Eshen]

I am assuming Tamim, Ashraful, Rokibul, Sakib, Mushfiq, Razzak, Mashrafe, Shahadat, and Rasel (provided they are all fully fit) are sure selections this time. So this poll is to select six other players, from the preliminary squad, to complete the ODI squad.

[Miraz]

Nafees Iqbal
Zunaed Siddique
Tushar Imran
Mahmudullah
Nazmul Hossain
Naeem Islam

Tushar Imran for ODIs? I think he can be in the Test team as he seemed to do well in the FC matches than the List As. He could come to after Raqibul at 4.

I am not very keen to introduce young players like Imrul Kayes or Shamsur Rahman against New Zealand. They are bright prospects and want to nurture them for another couple of years, it is tad early for them. IMO, Tushar has the potential to be a good middle order batsman which he showed in A team matches. I want to give him anoother opportunity.

Okay I see it now.

I was looking at the poll question but not the opening post.

His name along with Shahadat are somehow missing in the poll question.

My Picks:

Nafis Iqbal - Should be given a chance in the last ODI if Junaed fails in the first 2.
Junaed Siddique - Should be out of the team if he fails this time.
Nayeem Islam - He could come to bat at 5/6 if Raqibul is not fit yet.
Mahbub Alam -
Nazmul Hossain
Mahmudullah Riyad - He should be in the main eleven in all 3 matches no matter what. He's a good batsmen and a handy off-spinner.

I had listed them in the core, but those two names (Shahadat and Rasel) got cut off when I posted the poll.

[Gowza]

junaid
imrul
naeem
riyad
alam
enamul

[Eshen]

My six picks - Zunaed, Imrul, Riad, Enamul, Dollar, and Mahbub.

I am willing to stick with Zunaed for little bit longer, but, if he keeps failing, we may have to bring in Imrul sooner or later (I don't consider Nafees Iqbal an option for ODI). So I think Imrul should be brought in the squad from this series, although I like to see Zunaed making him sit in the bench for the whole series.

Riad is now very close to be a core player, should be a sure selection.

Although Enamul so far failed to show any potential for ODIs, I still would put him ahead of Shuvo to be the back up spinner in the squad.

Mahbub and Dollar - I like to see them being nurtured during this series. I also like to see them sitting in the bench for the whole series provided Mashrafe, Shahadat, and Rasel stay fit.

[Eshen]

If we are to pick a back up middle order batsman, I would pick Mehrab ahead of Tushar, Naeem, or Rajin.

[Dhakablues]

I think players like Mehrab and Riad should be half a mile away from the national team.. They need to prove more to be included in the national team. As much as I like Riad for his non-flambouyant style of batting, he just isnt doing enough with his bowling to convince a #6 inclusion. For the sake of sanity,, please select players based on recent performance..

[Eshen]

Recent or past, there is no stat to justify Tushar's recall to the squad.

Mehrab and Riad are technically much better batsmen than Tushar or Rajin is. Those two (Mehrab, Riad) are far better options to invest on for future.

[wiseshah]

My 6 will be

Imrul kayes
nayeem islam
Najmul hossain
shamsur rahman shuvo
mahmudullah riad
sohrawardi shuvo

I think these players are in form and still in touch with cricket and very much appropriate for ODI style and very mature compare to their age. i also believe this is the best time to reformat our ODI cricket style. for the test matches, i will surely pick a different combination

[wiseshah]

so my main Xi will be

tamim iqbal
Imrul kayes
Mushfiq rahim
rakibul hasan
sakib ul hasan
mohammad ashraful
nayeem islam
mashrafe mortaza
abdur razzaq
syed rasel
najmul hossain

extra 4 will be --
shahadat Hossain
mahmudullah riad---all rounder
shamsur rahman shuvo--specialist ODI batsman
sohrawardi shuvo---all rounder

[cricket_king]

God we desperately need a GOOD off spinner in the side. Riad sucks to be honest. I found it hard to choose the sixth and final player because i was looking for one more spinner. Shuvo or Riad - I didn't want to put Shuvo in so early...trying to learn from past mistakes, hopefully BCB follows, and Riad was just a poor all rounder. Hence, I went for an extra batsman - Naeem. I was hesitant though...don't want to ruin his career either.

So final 6:

Zunaed Siddique
Nafees Iqbal
Rajin Saleh
Enamul Haque jnr.
Nazmul Hossain
Naeem Islam

[bdchamp20]

Nafees Iqbal
Zunaed Siddique
Mehrab Hossain Jr.
Naeem Islam
Mahmudullah
Enamul Haq Jr.

[PoorFan]

BD pool so small and given their inconsistency and inexperience ... it is useless to choose one's squad for every series.

[yaseer]

My 14 member team for ODI

7 core players +

Nafees Iqbal
Zunaed Siddique
Tushar Imran
Mahmudullah Riad
Shahadat Hossain
Syed Russell (if not fit then Nazmul Hossain/Mahbubul Alam )
Nazmul Hossain/Mahbubul Alam/Enamul Haq jr.

Tempted to include Nayeem Islam in place of Tushar Imran, but decide against it as i thought it would be a bit early. Lets give Tushar another try in the home condition at No. 6. And the decision of including on extra spinner (Enamul jr. ) depends on the game plane/pitch condition. I would go for Enamul jr. and plan according to it as Nazmul hossains pace bowling will not make much difference. So, if Russell is not fit then go for all-out spin attack and plan/make pitch according to it.

[Baundule]

Funny to see Mushfiq as a core player. If giving blind chance is the motto of the selectors, I would better go for Sagir, because Mushfiq is already a failure.

Rokibul is still not a core player; but I like his attitude and will keep him in the team. Ashraful, without the captaincy is a better choice. Recently, he is talking (lies) like a horrible BD politician and that is killing his cricket.

What did he lie about? Can you give us some examples please?

Ash does not know anything about the other players' joining the ICL. If you give him a benefit of doubt on that, his saying that teams are selected only on performance basis is a terrible lie. He knows it, still using the phrase like a BD politician.

Its not a lie that team is selected only based on performance. What else do you think is the basis of selection? Ash is the captain of BD team and thats why he is always in the best eleven in spite of his string of poor performances. It was same for Hablu when he was in the best 11 of all the world cup matches in spite of his 'zero' contribution as a batsman. All Those ICL 'rebel' players(except aftab) was not regular in BD team only because of their terrible performence and they were not captain. There is no such example that someone played reasonably well and was out of the team. You choose another captain and Ash will be more than happy to be out of the team. He knows how to fight and come back.


Its very sad that blaming Ash for some Illusionary allegation is getting very popular trend introduced by a bengali daily Shomokal's sports reporter.

Again the fact comes in my mind, Why Pailot is not in the team??
