Last chance to impress

With the Tigers having played their last bilateral series before the World Cup, the only 'game-time' they will get until they reach Brisbane next year will be in the Dhaka Premier League. The importance of the competition, as a result, is bound to increase many-folds this month, with the selectors focusing on certain players to complete their quota of 15 for the World Cup by the first week of January.
Coach Chandika Hathurusingha, before leaving for Sri Lanka on a break, had said that he wanted to see the national players dominate the Dhaka Premier League. Following their return from the Zimbabwe series, the national players have played just one round so far. Anamul Haque's century for Kalabagan Cricket Academy and Taijul Islam's four-wicket haul for Prime Bank Cricket Club have been the only real highlights so far with regards to the national players.
There will however, be a number of players who will be looking to up their game this month in a bid to make it through to the final 15. Nasir Hossain, who was dropped for the Zimbabwe series, will be one of them. He has had an average time in the competition so far with just two half-centuries. He has scored 241 runs at an average of 48.20 and considering the fact that Sabbir Rahman has almost sealed the number seven position after his debut series, Nasir needs to improve on those numbers if he wants a national call.
Also in the line is Shamsur Rahman, who, after making a good start to the competition with four half-centuries, failed to carry on with his form. He has scored 348 runs so far, at an average of43.50. Shamsur will be battling for the number three spot which the management is yet to settle. The Zimbabwe series saw Mominul Haque, Imrul Kayes and Soumya Sarker play at three.
Abahani's Liton Kumar has reportedly found himself a spot in Bangladesh's 30-member preliminary World Cup squad. While it's highly unlikely that the uncapped player will make the final 15, he has impressed in the league so far. With 420 runs in eight matches, he is currently the highest scorer.
The spin attack will be another crucial factor that the team management will want to decide upon. With the grounds in Australia being termed as 'graveyards for spinners', there may not be as much room for the slower bowlers in the final squad.
As a result Taijul Islam, Jubair Hossain, Arafat Sunny and Abdur Razzak will all be looking to make the most of their remaining games. Razzak and Sunny have taken nine wickets in five games so far. At the top of the bowlers list is slow-left armer Asif Hasan who has scalped 21 wickets in eight matches.
The ODI series has pretty much revealed the selectors' plans with regards to the pacers. They will however want to see more from the likes of Taskin Ahmed and Al-Amin Hossain. While Taskin missed out on the Zimbabwe series due to injury, Ai-Amin was dropped due to lack of form.
With so many decisions left to be made, the last few rounds of the Premier League could either make or break a player's dream of making it to the mega event next year.
