Bangladesh ODI Squad vs New Zealand 2023
Bangladesh have also rested some of their big players as they recently featured in Asia Cup 2023, so it is important to manage workload. Bangladesh rested Shakib-al-Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. All these players are first choice players of Bangladesh white ball team, and with them being rested, New Zealand can have the upper hand in this series.
Despite resting 5 star players, Bangladesh still have got good experienced players in their Lineup. They will be led by Litton Das, and they have recalled Tamim Iqbal, Nurul Hasan Sohan and Soumya Sarkar.
Squad (for the first two ODIs): Litton Das (captain), Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Anamul Haque, Tawhid Hridoy, Mahmud Ullah, Nurul Hasan Sohan, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Tanzim Hasan, Tanzid Hasan, Zakir Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Khaled Ahmed.
