Bangladesh Squad announced for India Tour

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced the T20i and Test squads for the tour of India. Mahmudullah Riyad will lead the T20I squad in the forthcoming series in India.

The BCB also confirmed further changes to personnel in the T20 squad. Abu Hider Rony will replace injured Mohammad Saifuddin while Mohammad Mithun will come in place of Tamim Iqbal. Saifuddin was ruled out of the series because of a recurring back injury while Tamim opted to remain with his wife, with the couple expecting their second child.

Taijul Islam has been named a replacement for Shakib in the T20 squad. The left-arm spinner, who made his T20I debut earlier this year against Zimbabwe, has featured in only two games with the second coming against Afghanistan.
