Bangladesh Cricket Board announced a 15-member squad for the tour with some minor changes. There are few experienced players who are not part of the tour and come new faces have been added to the team.

Najmul Hossain Shanto will be the leading man for the team with Mehidy Hasan as his deputy. There were rumours of Shanto’s resignation from the post but the management has shown trust in their skipper and he will continue to lead the squad against Afghanistan.

Shakib Al Hasan is missing out from the squad. In recent times, Shakib and the team management had a rift when the player was omitted from his last Test because of security reasons in Dhaka. He is not named in the squad and that clears the doubt of the rift between the player and the management.

Litton Das is also missing out from the squad due to health reasons. He was also missing out on the 2nd Test against South Africa due to a viral infection. Das has not yet recovered from the viral infection.

Nahid Rana, who was part of the team against South Africa in the Test series, has been chosen for the white-ball series. The management wants the player to transition himself for the limited-over series.

1) Taskin Ahmed

Bangladesh will be dependent on their pacer Taskin Ahmed for a positive start in every game. Tasking is the leading wicket-taker for Bangladesh in 2024 in the 50-over format and has a bright future with the team. His ability to swing the ball at a good pace is his primary weapon.

2) Najmul Hasan Shanto

When it comes to the batting, the Bangladesh skipper will be expected to lead from the front. Najmul Hasan Shanto is the leading run-scorer for Bangladesh in the ODI format in 2024. He is a top-order batsman who has been scoring runs in all three formats of the game.
