ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Probable first choice XI for all teams

#8 Bangladesh

Bangladesh have improved a lot since the last World Cup and have a serious chance of making it to the semifinals

Bangladesh qualified for the World Cup ahead of West Indies and that itself speaks volumes about their improvement. Since the last World Cup, they have beaten almost every big team at some point or other. All they need this time is to hold their nerves at crucial moments to make it to the last four.

The batting holds a formidable look with the perfect mix of youth and experience. The likes of Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, and Mushfiqur Rahim will be playing their fourth World Cup. Mehidy Hasan will share the spin bowling responsibilities with Shakib while the skipper will be partnered by Rubel Hossain and Mustafizur Rahman in the pace department.

Probable playing XI: Tamim Iqbal, Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Sabbir Rahman, Mehidy Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza (C), Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain
