The team of 15 members, four players, including Mashrafe, will play their third World Cup, while two will play their second. The other nine are in their first World Cup and, interestingly, the same players also played in Australia and New Zealand for the first time.
The nine have 121 caps between them ODI Soumya Sarkar and Islam Taijul having made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe on December 1, Bangladesh last international match before the World Cup. Taijul became the first player in ODIs take a hat-trick on debut, while Nasir Hossain 20. Soumya achieved is the most experienced among first, having made his debut in the series that immediately followed the 2011 World Cup. Anamul Haque is a regular starter while Mominul Haque has the opportunity to transform their impressive test numbers in the ODI format. Sabbir Rahman, who also made his debut in the ODI series against Zimbabwe, are more likely to compete with Nasir for No.6 slot.
Among the bowlers, Arafat Sunny, Al-Amin Hossain and Taskin Ahmed have made good progress in limited-overs cricket in the last 12 months and is considered as reliable as the most experienced and Rubel Hossain Mashrafe.
"It can be very difficult, but I think our young players are very good," Mashrafe said. "They have not played many of the sport worldwide, but have some experience. So hopefully that will come out very well. We have some experienced players like Mushfiqur [Rahim], Tamim [Iqbal] and Shakib [Al Hasan]. [Mahmudullah ] Riyad and Nasir [Hossain] are there too. If bigwigs may intensify and young players can help, we have a great opportunity. "
Much of possibilities depend Shakib Al Hasan Bangladesh, Mushfiqur Rahim, Tamim Iqbal and captain Mashrafe. Shakib, Tamim and Mushfiqur are three of the four races-buyers of Bangladesh while Mashrafe is the second highest wicket-taker whole country. Although Abdur Razzak left out, Bangladesh has, what many believe, the top 15 players in the World Cup.
Bangladesh, placed in Group A, will have to win at least two of the highest ranked sides and the two partners, whether to make the quarterfinals. Mashrafe said Bangladesh is not directed to a particular team, but the team would like to go beyond the group stage.
"To be honest, everyone expects us to go to the second round, but will be difficult. We have to beat teams at least two largest, and Afghanistan and Scotland. We're not used to these conditions, but we doing everything possible to adapt. not targeting anyone because it will put pressure on us. we're going to play game by game and hopefully we'll do well. "
Mashrafe expectancy, however, is based on a couple of practice matches against Australia Cricket XI in Brisbane last week, which Bangladesh lost. Have been trained in Brisbane for a couple of weeks after they had nine days of training at home, apart from playing domestic cricket one day after his last ODI on December 1 They are one of only two teams that have not played one ODI during this time.
The captain of Bangladesh is now confident the next two practice matches - against Pakistan and Ireland at Blacktown Olympic Park Oval - to get in tune preparation for their first game of the World Cup against Afghanistan on February 18.
"We have not had a lot of cricket in the last two months. But before that, beat Zimbabwe 5-0 and had a good time in domestic cricket. In the last two weeks we train in Brisbane and played two practice matches. we also have two practice matches over here in Sydney, so I hope we can adapt and give our best in the World Cup. "
Bangladesh, however, has some things wrong during practice games. In the first game on February 3, Mominul Haque was pulled half after he had reached 52. Bangladesh went to bat for just 45.4 overs in the game.
"Our coach decided that [Mominul Haque will retire after scoring 50]. Everyone wants to bat, that's why he decided to retire after reaching fifty. It was unfortunate that we were overwhelmed in 45 overs. I think that doesn 't look good. the World Cup has now begun. Let's take seriously. Let's play like normal games. "
