10. Al-Amin (Bowl): Looks aren't everything.

11. Taskin (Bowl): Has aggression, pace and swings the ball in early. Persist with him.

12: Gazi (Bowl & Slog): He can replace Koushik if and when necessary.

Bangladesh is going to play all their matches at SBNS where dew is not a factor so far.
Thus, playing three seamers not a good idea IMHO. Also, Taskin is not in the WCT20 squad!

And against WI and Australia, our strategy should be an all out spinning attack as both teams aren't comfortable playing spin at our soils. Specially Austraia who have no clue about our spinners.
