The board has brought back experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Liton Das in the team for this ODI series. Also, five major changes have been seen in this team, as Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim have recently retired from ODI cricket.
Chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hussain said that Das has been given another ODI chance due to his recent appointment as Bangladesh’s T20 captain. Let us tell you that between the tour of New Zealand in December 2023 and West Indies in December 2024, Das has been brought back to the team despite scoring only 35 runs in 8 ODIs. Due to this performance, Das could not play in the Champions Trophy 2025 as well.
Gazi Ashraf Hussain, quoted by ESPN Cricinfo, said – Liton Das was going through a bad phase, but time is the biggest healer. He is the T20 captain, so we can consider him till the next T20 World Cup. If someone has to return to form, it is best to spend a long time on the field. We think Liton can take his form from T20 to ODI.
