agree. try out guys like asif ahmed, soumya, shabbir, shuvagata, even tasamul haque and spinners like noor, taijul, sajib and pacers such as the kamrul's, babu, taskin, jayed, al amin.

although i don't mind someone like mominul being in the A team, his national team spot isn't 100% secure yet. also someone like naeem wouldn't be to bad as it would give him a bit more experience and the chance to convince the selectors that he should be back into the squad/team.

anamul maybe, but i think if he's fit and available then he's currently in the XI and since we desperately need to develop some decent openers then we should be giving other openers the opportunity in the A team matches.

Trying out Shuvagata wouldn't be a bad option.

Other than Shakib, Tamim, Mushfiq, Raj, Gazi, Nasir, Robiul... rest should be playing.

My squad,

Shamsur
Ashraful (vc)
Anamul
Riyad (c)
Marshal
Mominul
Shabbir
Farhad
Mosharrof
Enamul
Taskin

Rest: Abul Hasan, Shuvagata Hom, Mehrab Hossain Jnr, Alauddin Babu

Accept it or not, Ashraful wont be dropped soon. So might as well get him more and more practice. Even if his consistency goes up by 1%, its huge for us. Anamul, Mominul, Sabbir, Enamul, Abul are very much within the national side. So they need to be better prepared and it only makes sense to give chances to those who have performed well at domestic level, Marshal, Taskin, Mosharraf, Shuvagata, Mehrab and Babu. I wish there were slots for Soumya, Sajidul, Elias but not this time.

You already know what Ash can offer to you in international cricket. Same goes for Riyad. I dont think we need Mosharof Rubel in British Condition. Best option is to experiment with new players rather than experimenting in international matches.

yeah no need for ash or riyad, this tour will do nothing for them or BD cricket. they've played long enough and have enough experience, this tour really won't do anything for them imo.

BCB should really look to get us a couple of 4-dayers in Ireland, IMO. The way we neglect FC cricket is astounding. Anyways the players I think should play are...

1) Jaharul
2) Soumya
3) Anamul
4) Mominul
5) Nasir (*)
6) Nurul Hasan (+)
7) Sabbir
8) Saqlain Sajib
9) Al Amin Hossain
10) Kamrul Islam Rabbi
11) Taskin Ahmed

I've picked Jaharul because he's still relatively inexperienced, and if he sorts his temperament issues, he is actually not a terrible opening batsman. Soumya gets in on his obvious talent and is the only guy who is a long term partner for Tamim. Anamul should work towards developing as a #3 or #4, depending on if Ash can hold his position down or not. Same with Mominul. Nasir gets in because we can test out his captaincy and also give him a taste of English conditions. Bearing in mind the 2015 WC will be in similar conditions, and is quickly approaching. Not really sure which seamers should be there besides Taskin, and not sure of the spinners either. Too many SLAs for my liking. On the fence about Hom because I really don't undertand the hype about him. He was perhaps a touch unlucky having not failed in his debut, but with a middle order of Shakib, Mushy, Nasir it would always be tough to cement a spot. Although with Riyad there is probably an open spot available, but it appears as though Mominul and perhaps even Anamul are ahead of him in the pecking order. His domestic form has also been pretty woeful.

Reserves that should make the trip:

Dewan Sabbir
Abu Jayed
Nur Hossain
Asif Ahmed
Alauddin Babu

for sure shuvagata is behind the likes of anamul and mominul, but like you said riyad's spot is definitely in question and in the shorter formats so is mominuls. reckon it would be good if asif ahmed was to make the trip, he's #3 that can open and those are our main trouble spots in the batting and he's been pretty consistent over the years at least in FC stuff.

so you've got marshall missing out (can't fit in everybody), actually it's good to see that there are enough batsmen contending for spots that even someone like marshall isn't a sure bet for the A team.

Totally forgot about Marshall, but I guess he deserves an A team call up after that last season. Anyone who gets called up to senior side should get called up to the A team.

I picked Asif, but like Marshall it remains to be seen if he can be expected to perform at the next level. I know nothing about Babu and have only picked him because he seems to have a large following here.

from what i know about babu he bowls decent pace (130kph+ consistently), he started to perform well on the back end of the last FC season if my memory is right (certianly his last FC season was his best). he partnered abul in the u19s as an opening bowler, he has some potential with the bat as far as that he has the potential to be considered an all rounder (more so than zia/milon from what i've read). there is some footage of him bowling somewhere.
