I think it's clear that soumya is in our plan for worldclup. Then why he is dropped? This would have been the perfect opportunity for him score some run. I guess mominul can say goodbye to shorter format cricket. You bring someone to the team after 3-4 years, at least give the guy a fair chance before ditching him again.
Anyway, I hope ariful will play all three matches. Hopefully he will deliver.

Imrul has been very successful since 2016. After Tamim, Imrul has been the most prolific Opening Batsmen in ODI's. No one else even comes close. Soumya was only in 2015... Litton just has one ODI ton to show for it...other than than Imrul has done ok in Asia cup to be persisted with. He should have done better against Pakistan and India in the final but his Innings against Afghanistan (also Mahmudullah's innings) got Bangladesh out of trouble and kept us in Asia cup.
We could certainly use Imrul's experience in World cup 2019...
