- Senior all-rounder Saqib Al Hasan will lead the team
- Surprised by former T20 skipper Mahmudullah’s omission
- Bangladesh’s first match in T20 World Cup on 24th October
The Bangladesh squad for this year’s ICC T20 World Cup in Australia has been announced and senior all-rounder Saqib Al Hasan will lead the team. Bangladesh’s performance in the Asia Cup was disappointing. Left-handed batsman Mahmudullah Riyad has been omitted from the squad.
Surprised by Mahmudullah’s omission
Exclusion of former T20 skipper Mahmudullah raises questions against the selection committee. Star wicketkeeper Liton Das has made a comeback in the team. Mahmudullah scored 25 and 27 in the two group stage matches of the Asia Cup. He has been dropped from the team due to poor performance. He has played 121 T20 matches for Bangladesh and scored 2,121 runs with six half-centuries. Bangladesh team will play their first match in T20 World Cup on 24th October.
Bangladesh Team:
Saqib Al Hasan (captain), Liton Das, Yasir Ali, Afif Hussain, Noorul Hasan, Sabbir Rehman, Najmul Hussain Shanto, Mossadeq Hussain, Mehdi Hasan Miraj, Mustafizur Rahman, Mohammad Saifuddin, Taskin Ahmad, Ibadat Hussain, Hasan Mahmood, Nasum Ahmad
