Bangladesh have named their 15-member squad for the three match T20I series against Ireland from November 27, as they continue their preparations for the T20 World Cup 2026 in India.

The announcement comes on the same day after they completed their Test clean-sweep over the visitors in Mirpur to clinch the series in style.

Litton Kumar Das will continue as skipper after he recently returned from the back injury against West Indies, while their experienced campaigner Taskin Ahmed, who has scalped 24 wickets (2nd most) in 13 T20Is this year will not be a part of the squad.

The 26-year-old Mahidul Islam Ankon, who made his international debut last year is a notable inclusion in the squad. He could be making his T20I debut in the series.

Bangladesh's leading wicket-taker in the format, with 155 scalps in 122 innings, Mustafizur Rahman will lead the bowling attack alongside the likes of Rishabd Hossain and Mahedi Hasan, who will continue to remain an integral part of the T20I set-up.

Bangladesh squad for Ireland T20Is:

Litton Kumer Das (c), Saif Hassan (vc), Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali, Nurul Hasan, Mahidul Islam Ankon, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Shoriful Islam, Mohammad Saifuddin.

Following a rather one-sided Test series, the T20Is are expected to be a bit more competitive, with the Irish side being a bit more experienced in the format. The three matches will be played on November 27, 29 and December 2 in Chattogram.
