Default Selectors announced Bangladesh Test squad for Sri Lanka Tour

Bangladesh Test Squad for the Tour of Sri Lanka 2007

Following is the Bangladesh Test squad announced today (Monday) for the Tour of Sri Lanka 2007:


1. Mohammad Ashraful (Captain)
2. Mashrafe Bin Mortaza (Vice Captain)
3. Habibul Bashar
4. Javed Omer
5. Mehrab Hossain (Jr.)
6. Shahriar Nafees Ahmed
7. Rajin Saleh
8. Shakib Al Hasan
9. Khaled Mashud
10. Shahadat Hossain Rajib
11. Syed Rasel
12. Mohammed Rafique
13. Abdur Razzak
14. Mohammad Sharif
15. Mushfiqur Rahim



Players to join the ODI Squad:

1. Aftab Ahmed
2. Tamim Iqbal
3. Tushar Imran
4. Farhad Reza
5. Mahmudullah Riyad

Surprisingly no Tushar Imran in the Test squad and Aftab again left out. Razzak takes the place of Enamul Jr. in the Test.

Only new face is Mahmudullah Riyadh in the ODI squad, he was more required in the Test side. I don't see any place for Tushar Imran and Mahmudullah in the ODI squad.

Good to see Rahim in the test squad.
so 4 fast bowlers (Mash, Rajib, Rasel and Sharif) and one specialist spinner (Rafiq). Are they going to play in the bouncy pitch?

Default Board announces new test squad for SL tour

I like this team except for the fact that Tushar gets kicked out of the test squad without playing a single game. I hope being in the ODI squad would help him to keep his self belief. And Enamul Haq should not feel too bad. He was out of cricket for too long. BCB should try to get him back in form anyway possible.

http://uk.reuters.com/article/UK_CRI...25926720070604

DHAKA, June 4 (Reuters) - Bangladesh have recalled left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak and batsman-cum-wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim in a 15-man test squad for the Sri Lanka tour later this month.

They will replace left-arm spinner Enamul Haque junior and batsman Tushar Imran, who were in the test squad in the recent home series against India.

India won the series 1-0, after the rain-hit first match ended in a draw.

Bangladesh will play three tests and three one-day matches against Sri Lanka. The test series begins in Colombo on June 25.

Aftab Ahmed, Tamim Iqbal, Tushar Imran, Farhad Reza and uncapped off-spinner-cum-batsman Mahmudullah Riyad will join the squad before the start of the one-day series.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board will name the one-day squad for the tour later.

Test squad - Mohammad Ashraful (captain), Masharafe Mortaza, Habibul Bashar, Javed Omar, Mehrab Hossain jnr, Shahriar Nafees, Rajin Saleh, Saqibul Hasan, Khaled Mashud, Shahadat Hossain, Syed Rasel, Mohammad Rafique, Abdur Razzak, Mohammad Sharif, Mushfiqur Rahim.

dont like the test team at all, Rajin actually can open innings; so whats the point of having three other openers instead of middle order batsman, when two of them are really slow ( Javed and Mehrab) and another one is out of form ( Nafis).Nafis could actually rested and obviously instead of mehrab and Javed Aftab and Tushar would be better choice.

Cant understand what they are trying to do.

Very well put. Good to have Bashar..but not the others. Mehrab is Golla clone soJO could be left out. And Nafis is 'nanga' for the time being and could use some rest

Why does it matter whether they are slow or not ? This is a test match team. The object is to play 5 days. We can't even play 3 days now.

The only thing which would matter is whether they can score runs or not ? I don't care how long it takes.

Spot on. Hell I'd be happy if the score board shows 200, as long as they can stay on the crease for 2 whole days! The lack of our team's patience is stretching my patience thin

Test team:
Out of form Shahriar Nafees Ahmed is still in the team
Mohammad Sharif who is worse bowler than Taposh is still in the team
No Aftab , No Tushar Imaran
-------------------------------------
ODI team is OK

Remarks: Some one must replace Farooq. Earlier is done, the better for the test team.

I don't see the point of two wicketkeepers. Has Mushfiq been taken to keep Pilot on his toes or as a back-up middle order batsman? Considering Mehrab Jr has been picked as an opener, we should have picked Tushar Imran in case we need to replace one of the middle-order batsman which might be required as its a 3 test series.

When u will choose ur team u should think about the opposition and conditions. Its a 3 test match series, need good back up players. Why sharif is in the team? Need some quick bowler. Syed Rasel also not fit for the test team. Need a offspiner considering opposition. Why Tushar Imran is out of team? Need a solid batsman like Tushar in test team. SN should give a break to regain his form. Not a good test team at all.

With current form Bashar should play down the order. If Bashar bat at 3 , I can smell
another 10 for 3 in 1st 5 overs !!! Rajin should bat at 3.

the selectors were not brave enough to take all the right decisions . they are going through a motion ; does not want to make drastical changes . I wonder whether ashraful had been given the opportunity to say a single word .

firstly , it has been very cruel unjustice to tushar . tushar should have been included in the test squad and excluded from the odi , i think . tushar had shown good form in longer version games with the A team . so , i think he deserves a call in the test squad . but , in the odi , i don't think he would have a single match to play or sneak into the playing 11 . so , once again , he would have a tour with no matches , probably . also including tushar in odi seems to me like the decision of asia 11 selectors giving bangladesh 4 players in the 20-20 while depriving us in the odi . to tushar , they would say , don't be upset . what if you are not in the test ? you are in the odi . now be happy .

then again , i think , for this series , shahriar nafees should have been rested to have a break , which is very needed for him right now . he must think about his game right now . tamim should have been in his place , i think . selectors were not brave to include him or they are prejudicious about attacking batsmen failing in test even after having sound technique .

thirdly , there is no need to two wicket-keepers . now , i think , it is time to say good byw to khaled masud . he will have his chance if he can prove his worth in the domestic games . but selectors thought otherwise or they have once again lacked boldness .tushar could have been in place of masud .

fourthly , if they were to include 4 pacers , i doubt whether sharif is a perfect choice . probably they thought that , he deserves another chance . dropping him after just one test would be unfair . if it is so , then they are right . but i wonder why they don't think this way for the case of tushar . and for the fourth pacer , i think in the next series someone else ... tapash , dollar , shafaq , shajada ... someone should be given a try .

lastly , sri lanka traditionally build very spin-favorable wicket . i can recall a test in colombo where there was turn for the spinners from day 1 . they probably do this for murli . although for bangladesh , might think otherwise and buid some less spinning wicket , i think , enamul jnr should have been included together with rafiq and razzaq , specially because it is a 3 test series . to include enamul , rasel or sharif could have been dropped .


my squad would have been .........

Md.Ashraful (C)
Mashrafe Mortaza (VC)
Javed Omar
Mehrab Hossain jnr.
Tamim Iqbal
Habibul bashar
Saqib al Hasan
Tushar Imran
Rajin Saleh
Mushfiq Rahim
Md.Rafiq
Abdur Razzaq
Enamul Haq jnr.
Shahadat Hossain
Sayed Rasel/Md.Sharif/Dollar Mahmud



Also , i think , habibul should come at number 5 instead of number 3 . rajin should be in 3 , ash in 4 .i would also be happy to have mahmudullah riayd in the test squad rather than oneday . in test , we need even more variation in bowling attack than in test . however , let's see how he does in the series . i hope he does well . we are badly in need of a right-arm offspinner/legspinner

Still think taking off form batsmen will not help us stabilize the middle order batting. Selectors are too scary not to chose someone from the leagues longer version top scorers. SN,Bashar,Golla,Rajin,Ash,Saqib have to prove that they can together score 300 runs minimum. I don't know how will they do it when four listed above are not in a good touch at all at present moment.

Same team with new captain.
Nothing surprising over there.
Lets see if Ash-Mash can turn around our luck.

atleast lets hope will see some improvement in fielding by better field placing by Ash.. but the real concern still is batting... seriously hope they will chose Mushi over Pilot.
