Ailing Shakib could hurt hosts' plans

Naimul Karim
Bangladesh’s preparations for their first A X SAHARA' ODI against New Zealand suffered a "If r huge blow as Shakib Al Hasan, who was
sllrfering from fever yesterday, remains uncertain for today's game.
Shakib, who visited a hospital last night, was reportedly running a temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit. If Shakib does not play today, then he is likely to be replaced by either Naeem Islam or Ziaur Rahman, provided the selectors do not bring in a player from outside the squad.
There will be a number of other vital subplots when Bangladesh begin the ODI series. The four-nil win over New Zealand in 2010 is one such that has dominated the headlines in the recent past and according to Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim it will be at k of the visitors' minds.
"It [4-0 defeat) definitely have an influence. For instance, South Africa are such a big team, but they still choke. We are playing against New Zealand after three years, but the 4-0 defeat will be there at the back of their minds," said Mushfiqur.
"But a lot has changed for them and us in the last three years. They have a number of young players against whom we have to plan our strategies and that will be challenging. So there’s no point in looking at the past or even [at the recently concluded] Tests. It all depends on this series," he added.
Bangladesh's pace bowling will receive a boost with the return of Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, who was out of the game for nearly ten months.
With a spinner expected to accompany the duo of Shohag Gazi and Abdur Razzak, Bangladesh will now have to decide on their all-rounders.
Mahmudullah Riyad, who was dropped for the Tests, is likely to return.
"It's a challenge when you don't have your vice-captain on the field, although I was helped by other senior players during the Tests. If Riyad Bhai is there in the one-day team it will be easier for me. Both he and Naeem [Islam] have worked hard. Hope they make the most of it," said Mushfqiur.
Mushfiqur and co are likely to go ahead with a spinbased attack despite the dew factor in the evening, which is at its most influential after 7pm. As a result the toss is bound to be crucial.
With regards to the batting department, the only quandary that the hosts are in surrounds the vital number three position. While Mominul Haque played in that position the last time, Mushfiqur stated that there are a number of options this time.
While the captain did not pay heed to questions about attempts at yet another 'Banglawash', he did emphasise on making a good start to the series today. "We will be happy if we can win the series 3-0 but what's more important is to win tomorrow (today) and start the series well. That's going to make the difference," said Mushfiqur.
