Do you think anybody else other than W. Saha will be able to be in the Bengal XI? How will be the Punjab team? There will be changes in Kashmir and Assam teams also. Assam will probably get some players from Sylhet.

Saha would definitely be behind Mushy as WK, and possibly behind Nurul as well. He is already like 32 so doesn't have any upside whereas Nurul is only 23.

Shami would make the side as a third seamer behind Mustafiz and Taskin, but he's not actually Bengali, just plays for Bengal.

Abul Hasan would have a chance at making Assam-Sylhet combined side along with Alok and Enam Jr.

^Subhaish Roy? Abu Jayed? Zakir Hassan?

So Bengal is whole of West Bangal and All BD region except Sylhet? Which goes into Assam, and forms a seperate team with the rest NE states or?

Actually in erstwhile British India, Sylhet was a part of Assam.

Two districts of erstwhile Sylhet- কাছাড়(Cachar) and করিমগঞ্জ(Karimganj) are part of Assam, India.
In the plebiscite they voted to stay with India.

Anyway, back to the topic. DRS should be mandatory now, I don't see why not. It's not asking for the moon anymore, India has the infrastructure to support it. Why should the will be lacking here ? Neutrality in umpiring, yes why not. Its pretty much de-rigueur these days for international matches.

We should not be too heavily loaded batsmen wise and opt for a balanced side with at-least 4 specialist bowlers(spinners and pace-men mixed) and couple of bowling all rounders. Shakib is already filling one slot. Anyone else who can turn their arm over at 2-3 runs per over with a lucky wicket should do it for me.

I think a few years back Bangladesh team played Ranji and got hammered.

No matter how good the BD team is - you have to get past Bombay to become domestic champions in Domestic cricket. Powerhouse team at that level. Names don't win games, teams do. And Bombay teams find ways to win, more often than not

own specialist thinks fiddo dido Fizz and chubby taskin are better bowlers than Shami. This guy doesn't understand cricket. He's just a tribal fan boy.

You are right, few years back BD was hammered in Ranji Trophy, but last year India was hammered by Bangladesh. Getting past India is probably easier than getting past Bombay, right. I am talking about One day matches. Longer version, yes we have a long way to go.

In a few hundred years when humanity will regularly dine with aliens and have casual sex with robots, we will still be taunted by the BD brothers for our 2015 and 2007 defeats.

Hope some of our future time warriors could go back in time and somehow fix these two humongous errors made by their cricket playing forefathers and save our future from this perpetual heckling.

Anyway coming back to topic, I wont be able to watch this game as I am out of the country due to few commitments. But if India plays full strength, below will be my team:

Vijay
Rahul
Pujara
Kohli
Nair
Saha
Ashwin
Jayant
Jaddu
Shami
Umesh


However, looking at the huge Aust series, dont be surprised if we rest few top players. Then below will be my team:

Parthiv
Rahul
Pujara
Rahane
Nair
Pandey
Jayant
Kuldeep
Mishra
Umesh
Ishant


BTW, watch out for that warm up game against our A team. Its a fantastic young squad.

[Mas_UK25]

My Bangladesh squad:

Mushy (capt), Tamim, Shakib, Kayes, Mominul, Sarkar, Mustafizur, Sabbir, Litton, Nasir, Miraz, Kamrul, Taskin, and Mashrafe (YESS!! Mashrafe, he deserves it. Might never get the chance to play in test in India again in his career, Am sure Mash, can be as good with his line and accuracy, he can bowl 10overs a day at least, plus Sarkar the partnership breaker available ).

This would be my XI:

Tamim Iqbal Khan
Soumya Sarkar
Mominul Haque
Mushifiqur Rahim (capt)
Shakib Al Hasan
Litton Kumar Das (Wk)
Sabbir Rahman
Mehedi Hasan (Miraz)
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza
Kamrul Islam (Rabbi)
Mustafizur Rahman

Reason why I've left out Kayes, I want the bowling in Sarkar which he adds. Opted for Litton in there, because I want Mushfiqur at #4, plus LKD has just tonked a double ton and I'm sure he's hungry to prove back his worth.

I know the Mash selection I made won't happen. But, who knows. Might as well take him in the squad for motivational team talk.

[Gowza]

It's time for mushy to play as a specialist bat, liton can take the gloves and mosaddek plays for riyad. These two really need to start being consistently in the test XI. They are the best young bats in the country, give them some time, might take them a few matches to adjust but there aren't really any other young batsmen worth picking yet, maybe anamul but with imrul, soumya and liton all being able to open it's got to be tough for him to get into the XI, shanto is a future prospect, give him more time to show some consistency before bringing him back (unless someone is injured).

If all 3 bowlers play in Hyderabad we can analyze the quality of their bowling as long as they all get 15 or so overs to bowl.

Although, I hope you won't say that the broadcast or cricinfo stats are biased towards BD like international water and resource organizations.

[tanvir_nus]

LKD needs to play, this guy when in form is one of the best batters we ever have had. Mash rates him one of the best he has ever seen, while Haturu rates him world class. In terms of quality he is miles ahead o Nurul

[patriot]

^^ There is nothing special about LKD. He is a domestic bully aka Tushar Imran 5.0. Even Rakibul hassan has a double century.

rakibul have a triple

[patriot]

If India prepares a spinning pitch, then it might not be a bad option for us. Miraz and Shakib will be a handful. It also increases the probability of us winning the game especially if India bat last.

A flat track will mean an easy win for India, as domestic flat track bullies like Pujara & co will score double tons and take us out of the game.

[Rinathq]

the bowling attack against India should be something like this

Fizz
Taskin
Miraz
Taijul
Shak

If this attack cant take 20 wickets, no other combination in the country can....

How about the inclusion of Taijul.. I mean I wonder if he would be effective against the Indians who are so used to his type of bowling. If only he could handle the bat a little well.
Now the question is should we go for 3 genuine bowlers or 2.

Hahaha, atleast our bowlers don`t score 100 with ball

8 more days, not a lot of news around it.

A turning track with Ashwin and Jaddu in the side, no thanks.

well the possibility of Taijul scoring runs is much higher then Miraz at this point. And if it is a turning track, we HAVE to go with 3 spinners. And Taijul would be the best option after Miraz
