Do you have anybody who will replace Rahim? Will make it so much easier to love this team.
I don't think Rahim is going to be totally replaced any time soon but if we're lucky he'll be replaced as skipper and keeper and just play as a bat, where he'll be far less annoying.

Of course if Mehedi was English he'd be playing in his county's second eleven, so it's not exactly cricket to stick him in a Test side

If they could replace Mahmudullah with a proper keeper and play Rahim as a bat that would work.

Yeah his chanting will be far less annoying when he stands in the field but as a batsman he's staying

I can't wait to see how many wickets this toddler takes against Smith and co. after an Indian tour next year.

Id go with:

Tamim (*)
Imrul
Mominul
Mushy
Shakib
Sabbir
Moses
Liton (+)
Mirage
Taijul
Fizzy

You can leave out Sabbir when you need the extra seamer for Md Shahid/Taskin/Rubel, and Hom, Nasir and Mahmadullah are your reserve batsmen who can bowl spin.


Edit: actually tbh I'd just leave Mushy out of theXI all together. Guy chokes in important situations. Mahmadullah at 4 instead.

Mahmadullah's their number four bat on merit right now tbh. I don't think Rahim giving up keeping would make him bat any better.
Yeah he threw his wicket away frustratingly a couple of times but he still averaged 30 odd in the series batting in the top four, which makes him much more valuable than Hom or Rabbi if they want to find a spot for a better gloveman.
