ROK is better than Ash , I would drop Ash first

[magic boy]

amarto kaorei team e rakhte ichha korena....mone loy shobdirei latthi dia bair koira dei :p

[al-Sagar]

who is out NAZMUL or SHAHADAT ???

i thought i heard shahadats name in ATN news. anyway i hope its nazmul.

nazmul still not at his best

[Sohel]

One useless guy (Da Rok) gone, one more (Mo) to go.

[gunda]

Perfect squad, No Rakib thats the main thing. Rubel in place of nazmul great choice. Can't wait for the match. Ash needs a break but i know he will never be dropped so no point in wasting breath takling about him. Am happy that Rakib is dropped, Hope Aftab performs so we don't have to see Rakib's face anymore.

[BANFAN]

Good team, but could be worth trying Alok in place of Aftab. He could be a better bowling option as well.

Thanks Miraz.

[cricket_king]

YES. No Rakibul. Finally the selectors have awakened.

[dolcevita]

men i would drop KAYES , last match he gets 3 chances ...

[Rabz]

Wont make much of a difference if Ash and Sakib dont fire with the bat.

[Rath_Mama]

Good decision Rok is good for test not 1day waste of time. One more to go is Ash.( Ash= Jorey bok Morey Fokirer Kay ramoti barey thats what happend in past).

[akabir77]

Better line up. Good luck boysss

Thanks Miraz.

nope....Alok is not performing well in the National League ryt now....neither he did in Premiere League...!!! Aftab has been in gud touch throughout the Premiere League...he deserves an opportunity in the playing-11....now let's hope he will be able to do well

[desirocker]

rokibul needed a break. good 2 c him out of da squad but i'm still a fan of him

[irampool]

Rubel's figures 2morrow........5 for 81 in 8 ovrs

[Tiger444]

Ya Raqibul even though I am a big fan of him needed a break..he's really lost his touch..i really don't think aftab is gonna do any better but i hope he proves me wrong..if he can perform then he can have the ODI spot for awhile..but the key is he has to perform..

If New Zealand were 81/5 after 8 overs, I'd take that TBF.

Miraz bhai, when you say SS, do you mean the UK one or the NZ one? Probably the NZ one, Super Bowl is on tonight.

still u never know what Ash gets in the nxt mtch,on the other hand Raqib is out of form
& Ash's bttng was better than Raqib in the Triseries & Test.
Don't know what will Rubel & Aftb bring to the team but it's a good call.
Aftb shlld also play the 3rd odi too.

U must be joking.
Rock hasn't done anything much in Test yet but he is at his best in Odis.
Just having a bad form.

Ash still there. . What does this guy have to do to get out? This puts no pressure on Fool to perform better at all.

[Tiger444]

Agrred that ash hasn't' been in the greatest touch but he has performed better then Raqibul in the tri series..also in the tri series he did do pretty good..also in the past few years he has been 1 of our better batsmen when we play against top 8 teams..i think he is crucial to our team still..we can't afford to drop him..

Yea...but they need to drop him atleast for one match...So he doesn't have the "I cant be replaced mentality" and his brain will start working again.

[M.H.Rubel]

Now the question is who should play at #3?
At #3 Ash's average is 22 and Aftab has an average of 26.So friends whom u want at #3?To me none of this two batsman are #3 material but as Aftab has better record so i want to give #3 back to Aftab.
