Bangladesh will enter the tournament as the defending bronze medallists after finishing third at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou. As per the schedule, the men’s cricket competition will run from September 24 to October 3, with the matches scheduled at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin, Aichi Prefecture.
Shanto will add experience to the top order alongside Litton, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Parvez Hossain Emon, and Saif Hassan. He earned his recall after scoring 355 runs in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), including a century and a half-century.
Nahid Rana Misses Out Due to Injury
Fast bowler Nahid Rana has not been included in the 15-member squad as he continues his recovery from a side strain. The 23-year-old suffered a Grade Two side strain during Bangladesh’s tour of Zimbabwe in July, which later ruled him out of the two-match Test series in Australia.
Wicketkeeper-batter Nurul Hasan and Abdul Gaffar Saqlain have also been dropped from the Asian Games squad. In Rana’s absence, Bangladesh will rely on Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Mohammad Saifuddin, and Hasan Mahmud in the pace department.
Litton Das (Captain), Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Parvez Hossain Emon, Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy (Vice-Captain), Mosaddek Hossain, Yasir Ali, Rishad Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Mohammad Saifuddin, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman and Hasan Mahmud
