Mahmudullah, Afif, Yasir all in World Cup squad plan, says Tamim
Afif Hossain, Mahmudullah Riyad, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Yasir Ali, and many others have played in the finishing role. No one has been able to nail a place in the team very well. The question remains, who will be the finisher in the World Cup team?

Bangladesh ended the Ireland series by winning 2-0. The batting struggled a bit towards the end in this series as well. The old question of who will be taken to the World Cup as a finisher has come up once again.
Afif Hossain, Mahmudullah Riyad, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Yasir Ali, and many others have played in the finishing role. No one has been able to nail a place in the team very well. The question remains, who will be the finisher in the World Cup team?
This topic also came up in the press conference after the match. In response, captain Tamim Iqbal left the door open for everyone, “Actually, I can't tell that this team will be the World Cup team. There are 1-2 places we're still wondering who might be better. There's Afif, there's Yasir who was unlucky enough not to play a single match. Riyad Bhai is also here. We will choose the best choice from here. Whoever it is.
“Of course, Riyad Bhai has experience. Afif has what many cricketers in Bangladesh do not have. I enjoy his batting. The same applies to Yasir. From here we will take only those who will be good for the team. There is so much discussion about it, even on my part I am not like I have decided that I will take him or take him. Whoever performs for the team will be in the team. Everyone will really understand in the upcoming Asia Cup who is going to the World Cup.”
Tamim added, “I think we need to reduce the testing (of the team) from now on. Because most of the matches will be given to the 15 boys who will be in the World Cup. At the same time, it is also important that those who are 12-15 (pecking order) also play 1-2 matches. Everyone cannot be given an equal match. Some will get 7-8 matches, some will get 3 matches.”
