The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced a 16-member squad for the upcoming ODI tri-nation series against Zimbabwe and Afghanistan in the United Arab Emirates. Litton Das will captain the side, while Towhid Hridoy has been named vice-captain.
The tournament will feature four day-night matches, including the final on October 23. Bangladesh will open against Zimbabwe in Abu Dhabi on October 17 before facing Afghanistan in Sharjah on October 21. The team has a chance to regain momentum after losing its previous ODI series against Zimbabwe.
The BCB has made several changes to the squad that played against Zimbabwe in July. Mystery spinner Aliss Al Islam has earned his maiden call-up to the ODI format, giving the side another spin option for the UAE conditions.
Hasan Mahmud has also been included to strengthen the pace attack. They will join Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam and Mustafizur Rahman, giving the team several options in the fast-bowling department.
Fast bowler Nahid Rana has missed out on selection despite featuring in the previous ODI squads against Australia and Zimbabwe. All-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin has also been left out as selectors reshape the batting order.
Litton Das Replaces Mehidy Hasan Miraz as Captain
Litton Das will lead the side in the UAE, taking over from Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who captained the team during the July ODI series against Zimbabwe. Mehidy returns to his all-rounder role, allowing him to focus on his batting and spin bowling.
Towhid Hridoy has been appointed vice-captain. The move gives the middle-order batter added responsibility as the team looks to improve its performances in the 50-over format.
The 16-member squad: Litton Das (captain), Towhid Hridoy (vice-captain), Najmul Hossain Shanto, Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Musaddek Hossain Saikat, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nurul Hasan Sohan, Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful Islam, Mohammad Saifuddin and Aliss Al Islam.
