Probably you all know Bangladesh cricket much better than I do. We can see great improvement in the team in ODIs.
Frequent chopping and changing may do more harm than good. My thoughts.

True and that stability of our team has been one of the reason for our recent success.
Barring Shakib, the rest of the core players (Tamim, Rahim, Mahmudullah) all struggled for years in the beginning. Tamim had few innings here and there but in no way was consistent. Rahim was averaging in the 20s.
Similarly with the young players, we are trying to stick with them. Soumya was struggling. Litton's ODI stats aren't that promising. Sabbir is a hit or miss these days. But we took all 3 of them to the WC instead of picking some 'promising' wonder kid from the domestics.
