Default Your ODI team for Tri-Series in January

My team would be -

Tamim Iqbal: He very much cemented his place there.

Naeem Islam: He is being wasted in late order. I believe his big hitting capability can be best used at top of the order.

Shahriar Nafees: I am looking forward to see him as the one-down batsman who can bring stability to our top order.

Raqibul Hasan: He still needs lots of polishing to his batting, but he seems to be on the right track, should be left alone in his current position.

Shakib Al Hasan: He cemented his place there.

Mohammad Ashraful:
He is a big reason why our top order is so unstable, thus he should be removed from there. But, he is still our best batsman against Lankan and Indian spinners, thus should be considered for middle order. Other strong contender for the place is Mushfiqur Rahim, but I still rate Ash ahead of Mushfiq.

Mahmudullah: This is a tentative selection. Three-SLA attack may not be the best option against Lanka or India. It should be either two pacer+ two SLA+ one offie, or three pacers+ two SLA. If we can't find a capable third pacer by January, we should go with Riyad.

Saghir Hossain: IMO, the team can't afford to let Mushfiq drop a catch or two every match, it's time to bring in a specialist keeper.

Mashrafe Mortaza:
Auto selection if fit.

Abdur Razzak: Auto selection if fit.

Syed Rasel: His partnership with Mashrafe proved to be the best against Lanka and India in past. Also, his rival Nazmul is still to prove himself against aggressive lefties. Thus, Rasel gets my vote of confidence for the series.

i'd definitely play dhiman ahead of saghir....and not sure about naeem opening although i do think he's wasted way down at 7 or 8. as far as rahim goes, well he's improved his consitency with the bat in one-dayers but the fact of the matter is we already have a batsman who plays at a similar pace and can anchor the innings and that is raqibul, i guess the question is whether you want rahim or the rock because in one-day cricket against the top 8 teams it would be hard to play both of these batsmen. the main problem with playing a specialist keeper is that we lose rahim's batting.

The team need not be altered much. The only changes I would make from the recent Zim series are:
Zunyaed might have to give up his spot, failed to deliver way too often.
Enamul will have to give up his spot to give better balance to the team. One pacer 3 SLA wont work against IND/SL.
And from recent DPL performance, I think SN, Aftab, Rony talukdar should be considered for the team. And if Mash is injured, I say we give Emon/Abul/Babu a go. They cant do worse than Dolar/Robin

I like your team but I would alter it slightly.

Tamim Iqbal
Mushfiqur Rahim/Mohammad Ashraful
Shahriar Nafees
Naeem Islam
Shakib Al Hasan
Mohammad Ashraful/Mushfiqur Rahim
Mahmudullah/Alok Kapali
Dhiman Ghosh+
Mashrafe Mortaza*
Abdur Razzak
Syed Rasel

I am being harsh on Roqibul and he hasn't done anything to be dropped but I think Naeem is more deserving of the no. 4 spot.

Although he is one of my favourite players and I believe his talent is at par with the very best in the country, I think it's time for Zunaed to face the axe. I do believe he will be back though.

I would prefer to have Dhiman back rather than giving a debut to Sahagir.

Bowling attack should be 2 pacers (Mash and Rasel), 2 SLAs (Razzak and Shakib) and 2 off-spinners or 1 offie and 1 leggie (Naeem and Riyad/Naeem and Alok)

If it doesn't work bring in another pacer (Nazmul) for the next match. If they want to take four pacers to the series my choice would be Shubashis Roy, but I wouldn't play him in any matches though as I believe a hammering from Dilshan/Jaya/Sehwag/Yuvraj/Dhoni will not do him any good in regards to his confidence.

Agree with the selection of Eshen bhai except I would put Nazmul in place of MUllah and keep the Go-Boy.

In DPL so far, Dhiman took 7 catches in 7 matches, where as Saghir took 11 catches in 6 matches. While Dhiman was gone, Saghir has worked hard to establish himself as the #1 choice for the A-team. So, if we are to consider a specialist keeper for the ODI team, I don't see why Saghir should be ignored.

I really hate this logic of bad keeping to be the reason to drop Mushfique. He is one of those players for whom our team is looking so good in the past few years. Atleast he gives the peace in mind that there is somebody who can held the innings together apart from Roqibul and not freak like Ashraful. Yes, in test matches he can be tried as a specialist batsman and let somebody else do the keeping job. Even mighty Indian batting line up had Rahul Dravid, played as a wicketkeeper batsman before Dhoni showed his class with the bat.

Some comments on Eshen's Team:

1. Liked the idea of promoting Nayeem. But not sure whether no#1 is the right spot. Also experiment like this can be Boomerang against teams like India and Srilanka. Having said that, there is no other place in the top order as well for Nayeem. Big decision, but one alternative can be switching position with SN.

2. Mushfiq does not deserve to be dropped. At least he deserves a place as a sole batsman. Also we are not in a position of strength to have a non-batsman keeper like Sagir. Sagir can be put in batting order at #11, he is such poor as per his records, if we do not consider his century against Maharastra. So, I would take Mushfiq again and hope for the best.

3. In Riyad's place, a strong thought should be put in to get a specialist bowler. I do not think Riyad can contribute with the ball against India and Srilanka. Options are Nazmul, Enamul jr, Shuvo. Actually this is a place for a bowling all-rounder, but Riyad is the opposite. We need guaranteed 7/8 overs and Riyad had less chance to provide that.

4. Not a bad thinking of putting Ashraful in #6.

My team-
1) Tamim
2) Mushfiqur
3) SN
4)Raqibul
5) Shakib
6) Ashraful/Riad
7)Nayeem
8) best position for fast bowling allrounder. If FARHAD finds his form then he should be considered. Otherwise Alok/Riad/Shuvo. But I wish Mo. Rafique in this position
9)Mash
10)Rajjak
11)Rasel/Najmul

Really its i big dilema lots of thing to be thought
1.How much will we change in the winning team?
2.Who will be partner of Tamim?
3.Where ash will bat?
4.Will we consider Kapali and Aftab in the team?
5.Where Naeem should bat?
6.Is it worth while taking Nameem and Mahmudullah as 5th bowle?Then what will happen to Suhrawardy?
7.Will we continue with two grafter? Rock and Mushy both?
8.Will Mushy continue as keeper?
This is sure for the first time our selector will have to about lot of player.
Lots of player knocking on heavens door

What you have to look at is whether the runs that MR costs us is greater than he scores for us. At the moment MR is a better batsman than DG and I think that the greater runs he scores over DG is more than the runs he concedes whilst he's a wicketkeeper. So I'd keep him in for now.

i like eshen's ideas and team selection for the most part. naeem should be promoted, though not sure if opening is suitable for him. i do agree that ash should be moved down the order. 4-down seems good for him for the time being. i wonder if sakib could make a good number 3. right now he's our best batter, and u want a guy like that coming in at one down.

not sure if we need both naeem and riyad. perhaps riyad can be traded for either enam, or mushfiq if we get a different specialist keeper. i still believe in mushfiq's willow as a powerful weapon that hasn't fully developed or shown us what its capable of.

agree with mash and rasel as the new ball pair.

Shakib is our best batsman but he is fine for #5 or below. At the end of the day he is still somewhat of a slogger and he can be more productive in the late order. Dropping Ash down the order will also relieve some pressure off of the team knowing that Shakib and Ash are yet to bat if we lose 2 or 3 quick wickets.

Here's mine:

1. Tamim
2. Mushfiq
3. Nafees/Imrul/Ash
4. Rock
5. Shakib
6. Naeem
7. Mahmudullah
8. Masree
9. Razzak
10. Enam
11. Rasel

Since we probably won't have a solution for the opening problem any time soon, I'd like to see Mushfiq as makeshift opener. He's already been moved around in the middle and late orders quite a bit and doesn't seem to mind change. Besides, we're talking about Sri Lankan and Indian pacers here, on dust bowls. I think he'll be fine and provide the right kind of support that Tamim needs up at the top.

#3 is still open and depends a lot on the performances that people put up in the DPL. Nafees might come back if he continues his form and Imrul is also a contender. I'm reluctant to put Ash at #3, so he's my third choice.

#6 should go to Nayeem. Since he can hit, rotate and block as required, I think he'll do a good job here and once he's proved himself over the long term, we can probably think of promoting him, but not before that.

The rest of the line-up is self-explanatory. We have three SLAs (Enam will have to work his buttocks off to make sure he doesn't get belted around, but I'm pinning my hopes on him as the third SLA) and two pacers, so we get the best of both worlds. Then, of course, we have the part-timers in Riyad and Nayeem and even Ashraful, if SN and Imrul fail miserably with the bat.

well if you ask me dhiman was a better wicket keeper last year thanb mushy. but he was out of touch for almost one whole year, things might have changed by now. beside with our unstable batting order i think selectors will just stick with mushy.

About ashraful as always that one century for MSC will be enough for him to retain his place in the team, and most likely we'll see him play in number 3, as much as i don't want to see that, i'm afraid that's exactly what will happen. I'd rather have nayeem still play down the order but not in 8/9. i'd be more happy to see him come in at 6/7. he could take advantage of the batting powerplay for us, and we are still lacking a finisher. he could be the man for that job.

For the ODIs, I would consider:

1. Tamim
2. Aftab (license to hit)
3. Nafees
4. Rock
5. Shakib*
6. Naeem
7. Ash
8. Mash
9. Razzak
10. Dhiman +
11. Rasel

reserves : Nazmul, Mushy (can be used as batsman only), Kapali (backup to Ash), Imrul


Ash, Naeem and Aftab can share duties of 5th bowlers.
