Whatmore on his Bangladesh squad

By Dav Whatmore Bangladesh coach

Habibul Bashar (Capt)

Clearly he is our number one batsman in terms of his record - he has been an inspiration from that point of view

Full profile

Khaled Mashud

In my opinion he is the best wicket-keeper in Asia

Full profile

Mohammad Ashraful

His unbeaten 158 against India just a few months ago was as good an innings as I've seen from any player

Full profile

Javed Omar

Javed will want to do something on this tour because he hasn't got too many years left in him

Full profile

Rajin Saleh

He brings a lot of energy into the group with his positive fielding

Full profile

Nafees Iqbal

He has the ability to occupy the crease for a long time and is technically very sound

Full profile

Aftab Ahmed

A little bit like Mark Waugh in my opinion he has got all the shots

Full profile

Shahriar Nafees

We haven't got too many left-handers so that aspect makes him very useful

Full profile

Mushfiqur Rahim

A wicket-keeper who has impressed everyone at Under-19 level

Full profile

Mohammad Rafique

I always think it is a bit dangerous to go into a Test without at least one spinner

Full profile

Enamul Haque Jr

He's a genuine spinner of the ball, possesses a pretty good loop and is developing his variations

Full profile

Mashrafe bin Mortaza

He is a natural, which is a wonder because he has already had two knee reconstructions

Full profile

Tapash Baisya

He has a big heart and even if he gets hit around a bit he will give full effort

Full profile

Anwar Hossain Monir

He has been around Bangladesh cricket for a little while, going in and out of the team, and is more of a squad player

Full profile

Talha Jubair

A back injury has kept him out for two years and prevented him from building on a strong debut

Full profile

Shahadat Hossain

This boy is probably the quickest of our fast bowlers
