Almost everyone had given the Bangladeshi team a slight preference over the Zimbabwean team but very few could have expected such a one-sided result in the recently concluded ODI series between the two teams. The hosts easily managed to clinch the series 3-0 to make it a clean sweep. The ODI series is set to be followed by a 2-match Test series, the first of which is scheduled to begin on 3rd November at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. The second match will be played at Sher-E-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka from 11th November. Despite the absence of the star-studded duo of Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan, this Bangladesh team will be high on confidence given their performance in recently concluded ODI series. Though the skill-sets required for playing ODIs and Test matches are altogether different, Bangladesh will certainly have an edge over the visiting side given the momentum they have gained by winning the 50-over series.

Best economical pick – Mominul Haque is an impressive left-handed batsman who has had a promising start to his career so far. Having made his Test debut at an early age of 21, he scored 156 runs in his maiden Test series at an impressive average of 52. He, then, went on to become the fastest Bangladeshi batsman to reach 1,000 Test runs. His batting average of 59.04 at home is far better than his overall average of 43.40. As the series is to be played in Bangladesh, we can expect some big innings from this lad.

Top captains & vice captains – Mushfiqur Rahim is the most experienced player in the Bangladeshi side in terms of Test matches played. He has played 62 matches for the team and amassed 3699 runs which makes him the second highest run-getter for Bangladesh, after Tamim Iqbal. In the absence of Tamim at the top and Shakib Al Hasan in the middle, the onus will be on him to anchor the Bangladeshi inning. Sikandar Raza proved his all-round worth to the team in the ODI series. His confidence will be high after a decent outing and this is where he is dangerous. Even with the ball in hand, he took wickets and the same kind of performance is expected from him for the test series.

Smart pick – Mahmudullah made his Test debut with a bang as he took 8 wickets, which included a five-wicket haul in the 2nd innings, in his very first match against West Indies. Mahmudullah has been pretty consistent in last few years.

Cautions Pick – Craig Ervine’s form was one of the main reasons why Zimbabwe lost the ODI series badly. He was very poor in the ODI series where he scored only 27 runs in 3 matches.

 My XI – Mushfiqur Rahim (Captain), Sikandar Raza (Vice-Captain), Mominul Haque, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan, Imrul Kayes, Peter Moor, Taijul Islam, John Nyumbu, Shafiul Islam, Brendan Taylor
