The future batting order

[MarufH]

1. Tamim
2. xx
3. xx
4. Naeem
5. Shakib
6. Mushy
7. Riyad / Nasir
8. Sohag
9. Sunny / Enamul
10. Mash
11. xx

I dont think we have good enough # 2 and 3 yet. Anamul/Mominul are not tested. We should play 4 full time bowler and Shakib. Riyad or Nasir both cant be in there. We need to aim to take 20 wickets.

i think at this stage this is probably the best team structure for BD. that way we get 5 frontline bowlers (counting shakib) and we get 7 strong batsmen. the only thing is i think mash's test days are done and i would try anamul for sure in home conditions maybe even mominul.

and i agree there isn't room for both nasir and riyad, one of their spots needs to go to a bowler. we shouldn't need 8 batsmen to score a decent total anyway, is a negative way of looking at things and it negatively affects the bowling unit and the potential of winning the match.

[Matribhasha]

I think that Nayeen Islam can handle Zimb, NZ, India, Pakistan, SL, and WI. Not quite sure of SA, Aus and Eng on a fast pitch. He always showed temperment, and now he has a little better skillset. Aall the best to our new and potentially permanent # 4.

[Gowza]

i think in home conditions especially 5 bowlers is a good idea, even though the pacers don't take wickets the spinners do so anywhere with spin friendly conditions is BD's best chance of winning tests. i guess in pace friendly conditions there are more advantages of taking an 8th batsman since BD's pacers are basically ineffective no matter what and the spinners wicket-taking ability will be negated by conditions.

Yeah agree !!!

Mushfiq can play as #3 in test for the time being. He has technique to do well

not sure on that, he has had trouble with quality pace plus he keeps wicket so it would be physically very tough for him to bat at #3 also, unless you want to bring in another keeper.

[KaaL-PurusH]

1. Tamim
2. Send anyone wearing kits and carrying bat
3. Naeem
4. Riyad
5. Shakib
6. Nasir
7. Amader ladder

Rest of them should be bowlers. Just field this team for next 1 yr and hope all the Haques get prepared and keep putting pressure on everyone to perform.

[M.H.Rubel]

My future test line up from current bunch:
1. Tamim
2. Anamul
3. Nasir
4. Naeem
5.Shakib
6. Mushy
7. Riyad
8. Shohag
9. Sunny
10. Rubel
11. ........

that's a good line-up but i think in the long run there will be a few batsmen pushing hard to take a middle order spot e.g. mominul, shuvagata, tasamul.

[Tiger Manc]

The way I see it. Anamul should be our future #3. I would play Jahurul as the 2nd opener in our next Test against Sri Lanka. I've got a feeling we'll be playing musical chairs with #2 for a while. In the long run once Anamul is settled as a Test batsman I'd bump him upto #2 and stick Nasir at #3. In that way we'd no longer have any deadwoods in the team and we can have 5 bowlers.

Present lineup:

1. Tamim
2.
3. Anamul
4. Naeem
5. Shakib
6. Mushy
7. Nasir
8. Mahmudullah
9. Sohag
10. Rubel
11. Nazmul

Future lineup:

1. Tamim
2. Anamul
3. Nasir
4. Naeem
5. Shakib
6. Mushy
7. Mahmudullah
8. Sohag
9. Elias
10. Rubel
11. Nazmul

There's no future if they can't score 500 on a batting paradise.

08.Mahmudullah
09.Mortaza (If he's fit) or Rubel/Nazmul
10.Gazi/Sunny
11.Abul/Nazmul

[Tiger Manc]

I've got a feeling Sohag will be used in all 3 formats especially after the way McCullum took our 1 dimensional 3 man SLA attack apart in a T20. Sohag can bat a bit too.

[Gowza]

i agree i think sohag will be used in all 3 formats and i think mominul is close to a call-up in all 3 formats so we may well find him in the team in at least one format soon.

[Tiger Manc]

Not sure about Mominul. What position would you play him? Anamul has a better chance due to positions available at the top of the order.

[Gowza]

yes well mominul is a middle order bat, #3 at the highest, so i'd either have him at 3 or have him replace riyad, at least in ODIs. riyad's bowling is most effective in t20s, i don't think we'll miss it much in ODIs and tests. so in ODIs he'd take riyad's spot, in tests he could take the #3 spot. for some reason i have a feeling he's going to get his chance in the up coming one-dayers or in the t20.

[Tiger Manc]

If he takes #3 where would you put Anamul? The only way I see him in the ODI team is if they put Anamul at #2 and Mominul at #3. I don't think they'd debut both at the same time so I'd debut Anamul first and then take it from there. I'd keep Riyad at 7 for now.

anamul could play at #2, and i already said i'd probably selected mominul over riyad.

[KaaL-PurusH]

I guess selectors are grooming anamul to take #3. He's been playing at #3 in everywhere

[Sohel]

Provided they don't decline over the years, I think we'll see the following batting lineup 3 years from now:

1. Tamim Iqbal
2. Soumya Sarkar
3. Anamul Haque Bijoy (WK)
4. Shubhagoto Hom/Mushfiqur Rahim/Mominul Haque Shourobh/Asif Ahmed Ratul/Nayeem Islam/Liton Kumar Das
5. Shakib Al Hasan (C)
6. Nasir Hossain
7. Mahmudullah Riyad/Nurul Islam Sohan (WK)
8. Abul Hossain Raju
9. Shohag Gazi
10. Taskin Ahmed Tajin
11. Rubel Hossain

[AsifTheManRahman]

And even with that lineup, we will continue to lose to Turkmenistan.

Tajikistan, definitely. Uzbekistan, probably. Kazakhstan, possibly. Kirghizistan, never.

Not sure about Turkmenistan at this point.
