Rasel could be Vaas if he could crank it up above 115km/hr every so often.

Yeah but then he'd be quicker.

I think they need to decide on 2 or 3 pace bowlers and stick with them for 4 or 5 tests as chopping and changing all the time doesn't help.Whether Rasel is one of them i don't know but they need to find some sort of pattern to their selections as at present it is almost a case of pick them out of a hat and hope it works.

Shafiul has a lot of raw potential, could see him average 34-36 at Test level. Sure that isn't exactly the best in the world but its still very handy.
Shakib while no Murali or Warne is going to be one of the best spinners of this generation. Somewhere between Harby and Vettori with the ball I'd say. Can bat as well which is handy.

Yeah agree on Shafiul; definitely one they need to stick to for a while. We both called it before his last game when everyone got on the bandwagon too...

I've been lauding Tamim since 08 as well. Biggest call so far on CW.
Anyway
Tamim (set this in stone)
Kayes (combination is working and thats important)
Siddique
----------- (Nafees?)
Jahurul (deserves another series IMO)
Mahmudallah (bat him at 6)
Shakib (bat him at 7)
Rahim (bat him at 8)
Shafiul
Shahadat/Rasel
Rubel/Razzak
Can see Rahim becoming a captaincy possibility. I love Shakib al Awesome but being your teams 2nd/3rd best bat and easily best bowler, mixed with his relative dire choices at times. Just reckon Shakib is 5 or more years away from developing into a captain while I think Rahim is the next best choice.

Any chance of a recall for Raqibul Hasan? I have no idea if he is actually any good but he seemd in their plans before his little retirement debacle.
Agree with Shakib dropping down a bit if he is going to play in the way that he has been, takes a bit of pressure off as well.

Yeah Raqibul will be in there eventually but he's still serving a ban.

State Vice-Captain
Nafees hasn't really proven himself lately and new blood would be better. There's others like Shuvagoto Hom, Faisal Hossain and Nazimuddan.
Could be a talent. Can't be harsh on his debut series.
Absolutely. In fact it should be a no brainer.
Shuvo should be a head of Razzak and bat 9. I think Bangladesh should stick with the 3 spinners.

Ah you are totally right with Shuvo, did really well in those unofficial Tests recently, as did Nazimuddin. I think I'd like to see Nazimuddin get a bit more of a run in the limited overs side before he gets chucked into the Test team. Shuvo should really be the 2nd spinning option. Yet another top spin bowling allrounder from Bangers.
