BCB has made one change in their Test team as well. Experienced batter Towhid Hridoy received a Test call-up after being named in Bangladesh's 15-member squad for the one-off Test against Zimbabwe in Harare. Bangladesh will face Zimbabwe in a one-off Test from June 28, after the conclusion of the 3-match T20I series against Australia, which will run from June 17 to June 18.
Australia is currently dealing with multiple issues related to injury and fitness. Some of their top players are missing from the ODI team, and could miss the T20Is against Bangladesh as well. The home team will try to prove its authority against the side that has been going through a transition phase.
“Since the T20I series against Australia is very important, we have tried to form a formidable squad, and we also kept workload management in mind. As a result, we have not included Nahid Rana for the Test series,” Chief selector Habibul Bashar told the reporters ahead of the T20I series.
Why has BCB picked Towhid Hridoy for the Test?
Bashar said that he has watched Towhid Hridoy batting in first-class cricket, which has impressed him a lot. The chief selector believes the batter can play impactful knocks against a strong opponent like Australia, and against Zimbabwe in the Test match as well.
