Don't think UAE is too bad of a team. Remember they have beaten BD-A, consiststs of our current and ex u/19's plus Sanwar and Tushar, once last year (even though they lost the series 3-1). Looking forward to see some competitive matches in between our cubs and the Arabs.

i think the most crucial series is against kenya. because with srilanka we have nothing to lose as not many people expect us to beat them but kenya people do expect us to beat them. so losing to kenya will be very bad for our cricket. we should take kenya very seriously because we lost with them in 2003 world cup and we only have one win against them and that is also 7 years ago. and plus they have a world class player like steve tikalo. i am hoping bangladesh will play 5 odi against kenya because this will be a very interesting series. because bangladesh and kenya is very even in terms of strength but we have advantage in 2 areas 1 is that they havent played international cricket in a long time and another is that we will have the home field advantage.

Absolutely ! If we loose against Kenya, all our pride and our players hard work is gono go "hay wire". After all cricket is the only sport we can be proud of, since we are a little good at it. On the other hand, almost everyone of us is only "Hopeful" that we will win against Srilanka. Even though Deep Inside, we know that we will loose against Srilanka.
