Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first in the third and final Twenty20 against Ireland at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Friday, with leg-spinner Rishad Hossain making his international cricket debut.
The 20 year-old is the third leg-spinner to play in the T20I format for Bangladesh, following Jubair Hossain and Aminul Islam Biplob.
He replaced Mehidy Hasan Miraz, while left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam was included in place of Mustafizur Rahman, as Bangladesh made changes to their team for the third and final Twenty20 against Ireland on Friday.
Bangladesh have already won the first two matches of the series and a victory in this match will secure a consecutive T20 series whitewashes for them.
Earlier this month, Bangladesh also achieved a clean sweep against World Champions England in a 3-0 home series.
