• Taskin Ahmed – Taskin Ahmed returned to the Bangladesh team with a bang, taking 4 wickets in the second innings of the Test match. In his ODI career so far, Ahmed has picked up 78 wickets in the 57 matches he played. 

Top Picks – Afghanistan

• Rahmanullah Gurbaz – Rahmanullah Gurbaz has taken the world by storm in the T20 format but his credentials as an ODI player are still to be tested. 
• Mujeeb Ur Rahman – Spinners are going to be key in the series and Mujeeb Ur Rahman with his variations and ability to bowl wicket to wicket will pose a huge threat to the host batters.
