Bangladesh is no more in the league of minnows (which in itself is a taboo word in cricket now) but, they are not among the mightier either. The way the pools are divided in World Cup these days it is virtually impossible for Bangladesh to qualify beyond the ring robin round. Except if they charge up so much so that to beat any team from among England, Australia, Sri Lanka and New Zealand which form the Pool A along with Afghanistan, Scotland and Bangladesh. The team Mushfiqur Rahim`s has lost all 12 ODI’s which they&#8217;ve played in 2014. Just a few days are left for the grand tournament and so let us look into the probable squad of Bangladesh which might be seen playing in the World Cup to be held next year.

Expected: Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque

Probably the second most experienced player in this squad after Mortaza, is Tamim Iqbal.  But nothing is going right for this man in international cricket. Tamim Iqbal now, is that pure talent which has now faded into darkness. Mainly fitness issues has vanished Tamim&#8217;s career. But as per the shortly coming World cup is concerned, his experience surely takes him to the playing XI. On the other hand, is his partner Anamul Haque, the latest find of this team. This 21-year-old boy was recognized mainly in the 2014 Asia Cup where he got a lot of runs. No doubt that he is going to be one of the brightest future stars of this team, but he needs to use his potential talent well and try to be consistent.

Expected: Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hassan, Mahmudullah

The 22 years old Mominul Haque is really capable of providing a good start and stability in the team&#8217;s innings. And towards the lower middle order is the 28 years old Mahmudullah who can provide the finishing touches towards the later part of the innings. But since the last two years or so, Bangladesh cricket team is revolving around 2 players captain Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hassan. Rahim is really performing his duty of being a responsible captain to the fullest through consistent performances. And Shakib, in spite of being suspected of illegal bowling action; is undoubtedly one of the best all-rounders in present. Mainly known for big hitting, Shakib can even take singles and built the innings. So in the 2015 ICC WC, he will be a trump card for Bangladesh. <a title="India’s Probable Squad for Cricket World Cup 2015" href="http://www.crictracker.com/indias-probable-squad-for-cricket-world-cup-2015/" target="_blank">(also read India&#8217;s Probable Squad for WC 2015)</a>

Now he should mainly concentrate on preventing the flow of runs of his bowling. It will be important how the Bangladesh spinners handle the middle overs as the changed rules along with batting power play will make life no easier for them.

Another off-spinner in this squad who has been suspected of having illegal bowling action is Sohag Gazi.

Expected: Mashrafe Mortaza, Taskin Ahmed, Al Amin Hossain

30 years old pacer, Mashrafe Mortaza is among the most experienced player of this current Bangladesh side. In his cricketing career, he has been hit many times by injuries and fitness issues. The World Cup 2015 is to be played in Australia and New Zealand, whatever said and done, the pacers will have a real role to play for their team. Mortaza the right arm fast medium bowler will be responsible for guiding the youngsters. The most exciting bowler to watch out for in this bowling lineup is the 19 years old, right arm medium fast bowler, Taskin Ahmed. The youngest player of this squad will surely prove be one of the finest emerging players of the WC. Eyes will also be on the wicket taking right arm pacer, Al Amin Hossain as well.

Reserves: Ziaur Rahman, Rubel Hossain

The 27 years old right arm medium pacer, Ziaur Rahman can be a handy option to bowl economically in death overs. And not to forget, he can bat as well.

Pacers:
Expected: Mashrafe Mortaza, Taskin Ahmed, Al Amin Hossain
30 years old pacer, Mashrafe Mortaza is among the most experienced player of this current Bangladesh side. In his cricketing career, he has been hit many times by injuries and fitness issues. The World Cup 2015 is to be played in Australia and New Zealand, whatever said and done, the pacers will have a real role to play for their team. Mortaza the right arm fast medium bowler will be responsible for guiding the youngsters. The most exciting bowler to watch out for in this bowling lineup is the 19 years old, right arm medium fast bowler, Taskin Ahmed. The youngest player of this squad will surely prove be one of the finest emerging players of the WC. Eyes will also be on the wicket taking right arm pacer, Al Amin Hossain as well.
Reserves: Ziaur Rahman, Rubel Hossain
The 27 years old right arm medium pacer, Ziaur Rahman can be a handy option to bowl economically in death overs. And not to forget, he can bat as well. So, lower down the batting order, he might be seen hitting a few blows out of the ground. Rubel Hossain, is another wicket taking bowler has been playing for his national side since the last three years and has featured in 49 ODIs, he has taken 65 wickets in his career so far. So we can say that, he has decent record and experience to be able to perform in the 2015 WC.
