The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has unveiled the entire 16-player squad for the Bangladesh team for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan in the UAE. The series will mark Bangladesh’s return to the game’s ODI arena after a gap of over three months, considering they last graced the 50-overs international format back in July this year during a series in Sri Lanka.

Star all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz will continue to lead the Bangladesh ODI team, while wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das has been sidelined amid his repeated form and fitness struggles.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz will serve as Bangladesh captain in the ODI series against Afghanistan later this month, as per the squad announced by the BCB on Friday, October 3.

The seasoned all-rounder will be accompanied by several other star performers as well as experienced campaigners like T20I captain Jaker Ali, ace pacemen Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman, top-order batter Najmul Hossain Shanto among others. Here is a look at the entire Bangladesh squad for the ODI series against Afghanistan.

Bangladesh squad for ODI series vs Afghanistan:

Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c), Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Md Naim Sheikh, Mohammed Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Tawhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali Anik, Shamim Hossain, Quazi Nurul Hasan Sohan, Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana.

The Bangladesh cricket team will face Afghanistan in a three-match ODI series between Wednesday, October 8 and Thursday, October 14. Each of the three games will be hosted by the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

As of now, a Jaker Ali-led Bangladesh team is facing Afghanistan in the T20I segment of the white-ball tour of the UAE. Bangladesh won the series-opening first T20I match in Sharjah by four wickets after overcoming Rashid Khan’s late threat.
