I actually like these triangular tournaments. Bangladesh should have more of those at home. Next time, I would like to see Bangladesh have at least one of the major sides i.e. India.
I like our batting line-up. Shakib batting at #3 is a great idea. Anamul coming back is also great. Has to make it count now. He can't do any worse than Sarker. Shabbir batting where he belongs is good to see. Nasir days seems to be outnumbered. Mosaddek and Mehedi has a higher ceiling than him it looks. We could look to bring Nurul into the squad somehow.
The bowling line-up is interesting. Our three frontline pacers – Mashrafe, Rubel and Fizz – are fine, but we do really need to groom in Abu Hider. We don't have much in terms of spin, but Mehedi and Mosaddek can provide that support for Shakib left arm spin. They're the best we've got anyway.
