Anyway, like the OP mentioned TIK is not the weakest link in the team. Hope by now we're somewhat over our disappointment of losing to Pakistan, so let's not throw the baby out with bathwater.
I know it's tempting to replace Tamim with Liton in the ODI team. Liton is still enjoying being a little known player in international cricket. Back in 2015, we felt certain Soumya is the next megastar to come out of Bangladesh. It took teams a year or so to figure out which areas to bowl to him and which field to set up against him, and he is still struggling to reestablish himself in international cricket.
IMO, a better approach will be to give Soumya-Liton a trial in T20I, till the 2020 T20I WC, knowing Tamim is not a good bet in T20I or in a WC anyway.
