BCB announce T20 World Cup squad

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have officially announced the squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, with Liton Das confirmed as captain and Saif Hassan as vice-captain.

The biggest talking point is the omission of Test captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, who has been in impressive form during the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), and Jaker Ali Anik, who captained Bangladesh to a series victory against Afghanistan last year.

The 15-member squad blends experience with emerging talent. The batting lineup includes Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Parvez Hossain Emon, Towhid Hridoy, and Shamim Hossain, while Nurul Hasan Sohan will handle wicketkeeping duties.

Bangladesh’s bowling department features Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mohammad Saifuddin, and Shoriful Islam in pace roles, with Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, and Nasum Ahmed providing spin options.
