Bangladesh Squad for 1st Test: Nazmul, Shadman, Mahmudul, Zakir, Mominul, Mushfiqur, Mahidul, Jaker, Miraz, Taijul, Nayeem, Nahid, Tanzim, Khaled, Mahmud.

Taskin is out of the series due to injury. Litton was given leave for PSL, Nahid will go for PSL after 1st Test.
That’s practically a full strength squad there. Looks like BCB don’t want to take any chances.

I hope they go for full on experimental side in the second, regardless of the result in the first match. Will be a good test for the other guys?

Quota system agenda going up in smoke this tour :lol:

This squad tells me they are assuming we will get the usual spin friendly conditions in Bangladesh. Only reason why it would make sense to go with 2 spinners and leave Kaitano behind. Still would have expected him and Matigimu to make the squad but it is what it is. Scotland will be a tough matchup as well. We will probably name a strong squad for those games.

Gwandu again... Let's just assume Sammons and Langeveldt see things in training we don't see. I saw him live and he looked ok but surely Matigimu has to be ahead of him now. We aren't blind.
I'm still backing the quota system in here. Only 4 will play , a mystery injury or something similar will happen. Curran , Bennett , Welch , Ervine and Williams should all play on merit but you watch them go in with only 4 of them. I hope i am wrong but i doubt it. Where is Evans ?
They’ll put in 5 because Raza is part of the quota I think.
Good point

Regular broadcasters are not interested to telecast the series due to IPL, PSL etc. If there is no other option, BTV(Govt tv channel) will broadcast the series.

I saw a report yesterday. Still there are plenty of grasses (like NZ test pitches) in the pitch.

Test wise I have felt Zim has under performed the last few games.
Hoping for an over achievement soon
