Shakib to lead Bangladesh against Zimbabwe

[Nadim]

জিম্বাবুয়ের বিপক্ষে টাইগারদের নেতৃত্ব দেবেন সাকিব

ঢাকা: জিম্বাবুয়ের বিপক্ষে একদিনের ক্রিকেট সিরিজে অলরাউন্ডার সাকিব আল হাসানকে অধিনায়ক করে রোববার ১৫ সদস্যের দল ঘোষণা করেছে বাংলাদেশ ক্রিকেট বোর্ড (বিসিবি)।

চোট কাটিয়ে দীর্ঘদিন পর দলে ফিরেছেন তামিম ইকবাল। এছাড়া স্কোয়াডে ডাক পেয়েছেন ১৬তম এশিয়ান গেমসে বাংলাদেশকে প্রথমবারের মতো স্বর্ণ পদক জয়ের নেতৃত্ব দেওয়া মোহাম্মদ আশরাফুল।

তবে তামিম ও আশরাফুলের দলে ফেরায় কপাল পুড়েছে শাহরিয়ার নাফীসের। কারণ মূল একাদশে জায়গা হয়নি বাঁহাতি এই উদ্বোধনী ব্যাটসম্যানের।

বাংলাদেশ দল: সাকিব আল হাসান (অধিনায়ক), তামিম ইকবাল, ইমরুল কায়েস, জুনায়েদ সিদ্দিক, মোহাম্মদ আশরাফুল, রকিবুল হাসান, মাহমুদুল্লাহ রিয়াদ, নাঈম ইসলাম, আব্দুর রাজ্জাক, মাশরাফি বিন মর্তুজা, রুবেল হোসেন, শফিউল ইসলাম, মুশফিকুর রহিম, নাজমুল হোসেন ও সোহরাওয়ার্দী শুভ।

অতিরিক্ত: শাহরিয়ার নাফীস, জহুরুল ইসলাম অমি, সাব্বির রহমান ও সৈয়দ রাসেল।

Squad:

1)Shakib Al Hassan
2) Mashrafi
3) Tamim Iqbal
4) Imrul Kayes
5) Zunaid Siddique
6) M. Rahim
7)Abdur Razzak
8) Shafiul Islam

13) Raqibul Hassan
14) Nayeem Islam

Reserve: Shabbir Rahman Roman, Jahirul Islam, S.Nafis & Syed Rassel


BCB is on high....in slow pitches they picked 4 seamer(Nazmul is bhua)...Dropped Jahirul Islam for NO REASON....removed Shuvogoto Hom from reserve

[reyme]

Great Nadim! Thank you!!! What a good news to see Shakib as the captain.

[Mahir]

As expected.

But as Nadim points out, I don't see any reason to have 4 seamers in the squad. So the only change I'd have preferred is Nafees included in place of Nazmul Hossain.

And quite relieved to see Shakib given the captaincy. And that clarifies - barring any injury situation, ladies and gentleman, the Iceman will lead Bangladesh in the World Cup.

[reyme]

I think the seamers had been developing well lately under Pont. It is slowly becoming our strength with all the butterfly effect and all ....about Hom, I dont think he has done enough recently to smake the cut....he disappointed even in ASIAD...

Nafees and Omi I am sad about. But again, they had a lot of practice sessions and selecteros/coaches closely followed those sessions....again its a home series and they can be picked anytime.

[Naimul_Hd]

I am guessing that Mashrafe may not play all 5 matches. He may be given rest in the last couple of matches. For this reason, Selectors have opted for Shakib as Captain for this Series !!

or, selectors have made up their mind to keep Shakib as Captain for WC as well !!

[reyme]

Why Ash at 4 and again at 13? Is he going to bat twice, since he is a legend or future hall of fame?

[ahnaf]

Good job except the exclusion of SN..why they dropped SN specially when we are going to play against zim??

LOL Might DO!


thanks for pointing that

[Night_wolf]

BCB is a drama...They shouted mash mash mash......even declared mash as captain in the countdown show and asked him to give a speech..now they say shak is the captain(not that i am unhappy)..so if u were making shak cap...then why the screaming about mash?..i think even this news came to mash as a surprise..poor fella

i don know but i have a gut feeling that this drama is far form over...in future BCB morons will declare Mash as the captain of the WC team

[jisaan]

wht did they drank?

[jisaan]

what did they drink????

wht do you expect from 'jambura' tutul & 'lota' kamal?

[shakibrulz]

Probably Pont's idea to get the extra seamer? Anyways, Jahirul being dropped is kind of understandable, but SN? He should've been in the squad.

The good thing is, Iceman is back as skippy, but dunno if it's indeed a good news - hope it won't affect his performance

vaijanera apnader sriti khubi durbol.......2 bochor age shiter shokale ei mirpurer slow pitch-a bangali pacer-ra srilankan batsmander kerokom kandaisilo vule gasen.

[_Rafi_]

As far as I know SN has done nothing wrong in his last international series to be dropped from the squad. It is a luxurious decision to bring back Ash ahead of SN who was the second highest scorer of the historic series win.

[Umar]

Two Great thing about this Squad:
- SHAKIB is the captain
- Inclusion of Shabbir Rahman (even as stand by)

*Shabbir can eye Worldcup now!

Two flops about this squad :
-Inclusion of Ash and ZUNAID and removing Jahurul and S.Nafees
- Inclusion of Nazmul removing Shovagotohom (even from stand by)

*I don't get it..what the fffffrench has Zunaid done in ODI's to deserve a place in ODIs? RIDICULOUS

Overall not a bad call..

*Motin will flop...whereas if it was SN..he wouldve scored 100+ as its Zimb. just wanted to say that

[mhj007]

shob i thik ase...kintu raqibul, junaed nz er shathe emon khelar por kingba ashraful er asiad er performance por o bohal tobiot e tike gelo, r sn 2nd highest scorer hoyeo kan baad gelo eituk bujhlam na....khub i unfair..ei howler chara baki squad thik ase..

[mhj007]

and about captaincy,i think now if there is no injury situation, shakib must be the captain of the world cup..there is no alternative..we cant hand over captaincy to mashrafe staright into the world cup..world cup is not a place for experiments..

Sriti durbol na re bhaijaan! Under Pont's supervision, we've shown good signs of progress in our seam bowling department. There's more method to the pacer's madness now - they are getting hands-on coaching on fast bowling tidbits. But that hasn't made the seamers our main strength in bowling, yet. The spinners will dominate, and that's a foregone conclusion. I very much doubt we'd play 3 seamers in our playing XI, so the 3rd one would be a backup anyway. The only reason i can think of is that the selectors are pondering some rest for Mashrafee towards the end of the series and/or of any further injury scare for Mash or any of the other bowlers (Nazmul has also recently recovered from an injury). Having said that, the 4th pacer's spot could've gone to Nafees instead, to bolster the batting department a bit more. Junaid has done well in the past, but is going through a lean patch currently, and Nafees could come in at no. 3 for a couple games.

[Shaan]

good to see shakib leading the side, sad to see inclusion of zunaed in place of sn.. Hope ash can prove us wrong about him..

sure he has done "well" in the past in ODI's. after 42 matches (includes 1 painful century, and 4 50's) and average of 22.80 with strike rate of 70.40 is WELL. infact its just TOO WELL for the quality of junaid.

Selectors have no valid reason to incluide Junaid in ODI's and drop Jahurul/SN.

if anything, he's done something in test matches. In ODI's and T/20 he is left handed version of Ashraful..atleast Ash gives Eid innings once in a blue moon.

[BlindSupporterofBD]

Nafees still has opportunity to prove his point. he is playing tomorrow against zim. if he can score a century then he has a chance...
