Default Should Reza replace a player from current squad if so who?

Bangladesh's current 11 just had a convincing victory against world's number 1 South Africa. On the contrary, the same 11 suffered a nine wicket defeat against the mighty New Zealands. So that leads me to wonder, do we stick with this same 11 for the England game or are there changes that can be made.

The current squad is:
Tamim Iqbal
Javed Omar
Habibul Bashar
Saqibul Hassan
Aftab Ahmad
Mohammad Ashraful
Mushfiqur Rahm
Mashrafi Mortaza
Mohammad Rafique
Abdur Razzaq
Syed Rasel

The only realistic replacement player we have is Farhad Reza So do you think he should replace a member from this squad or do you think we should go with what we have at the moment. Based on other threads people consistently ridicule Bashar and Javed Omar but they forget they have done us a world of good. Therefore, in this thread please state a player who you feel should be replaced aside from Javed Omar and Habibul Bashar as the board will not replace these 2 players.

None. We have found our best combination and we should keep it for the next three matches.

No need to change.
If we want to make any change, I can only see the promotion of Bashar to opening slot and including Farhad in place of Javed.

Why not we promote Mushfiq to opening with Bashar still at 3 and Farhad coming at 7 and with the rest of the positions staying the same.

that is a great option. this way reza can play, who is a hard hitter ,can hit over the top in 15 overs. he will be useful at number 7.

i also think, if reza has some opening experience in domesctic, he should OPEN with tamim. then the pressure will not be on Tamim to keep the strike rate up (which is down because of Javed omar batting). srilanka of 1999 WC had both hardhitter jayasuria and kaluvitharana on opening. Austrlia currently has Hayden and Gilcrist. Opening is one place we could enjoy some good strike rate. also, as previously seen, Reza and tamim both has the capability to cool their game if necessary.

im going bak to my point... droping javed omar and habibul bashar is not realistic. And i think there are many threads already discussing this and we all know that it would not happen. So getting back to not dropping either Javed Omar or Habibul Bashar who else do you think Reza can replace or are there no realistic replacements.

Excuse me? Why on earth is dropping JO not realistic? If 17 off 41 balls is what you want from our ODI opener, I have nothing else to say. Except Tamim our entire top order failed against SA. This has been the pattern throughout the WC after the India game. Yes Javed saw off the new ball, but in the process he halted any momentum we had, and then he tamely holed out leaving the rest of the batsmen under more pressure. Ashraful and Aftab played out of their skins to rescue our batting. Remember when they came together the score was something like 87-4 with the rate hovering around 3.

Mushfiq can do the grafting job, and that too much better than Javed. Farhad at #7 would not only strengthen our batting, but would also diversify our bowling options. I see absolutely no reasons why that should not be done. Unless of course, the selectors have the same expectations of our opening batsman as you do.

I was thinking the same ever since I heard the news Forhad is flying over to WI. This would give some pace bowling option.

The spin trio could not do the best job when the pitch was too flat to bowl and a batting paradise. The Barbados wicket seems to be batting wicket where BD will possibly play the last 3 mathces. So, an extra bowler could be handy considering Reza is flying in who had a good time recently with bowling.

In that case, Mushfiq goes for opening, and Reja replacing JO is a good idea. Mushfiq virtually had the experience of opening in the 1st two group matches after SN got out early. That would give us a good hitter in Reja at the tail of the batting.

I think it will be injustice to Nafees if we dont include him. Also farhad may come in place of Javed.. here's my 11:

Tamim
Farhad
Nafees
Sakib
Ashraful
Basher
Mushfiq
Mashrafe
Rafique
Razzaq
Rasel

Thanks for the info..how sure are you about the wickets in Barbados..if it's a batting track we will have problem especially with our bowling power. Not sure if they will take Farhad instead of JO and bring Rajib in sacrificing one SLA.
As earlier mentioned, we really missing a small contribution with the ball from the top order. I wish Aftab and Ash could have bowled few overs to make a room for another allrounder.

I was wondering if anybody know how was the pitch when we played against Australia and NZ or even with SL, any info?

I would prefer the same winning combinition.
Aftab and Tamim should Open and Bashar number 3. Forhad can be included in middle then. Drop JO.

SN should replace JO.

the whole point of this thread is to talk say something in reason, as good as your team sounds it is very unlikely to happen. So from here on out on this thread lets make suggestions that do not include dropping our CAPTAIN or our (some what inform) opener.

I would be against any changes. But if I were to suggest a change, I would promote mushfiq as an opener and drop Javed.

reja shouldnt replace anyone. he is not good enough to be an international bowler. his nothing medium pace will be cannon fodder for england or WI batsmen. and I dont think Reja should replace anybody in the team by his batting alone.

Sorry why do we buy the idea that an allrounder is someone who can neither bowl nor bat?

Replace JO with SN, if he's ready to perform.

I'd love to replace Bashar with Forhad against England, but after beating SA that's probably not going to happen.

Replace JO with Farhad or SN... if farhad is selected, Mushy should open. I guess it depends on the pitch condition of barbados also.
