ICC World Cup starts today (October 5, 2023), and Bangladesh announced the squad on September 26. While other nations revealed their squads early, Bangladesh was the final team to make the announcement.  The day before the announcement of the World Cup team, a midnight meeting took place at the residence of the BCB president. Speculations regarding Tamim Iqbal's fitness in the media, and decisions involving Hathurusingha and Shakib Al Hasan all unfolded in a dramatic manner. In this intense situation, the Bangladesh Cricket Board revealed the final Cricket World Cup team, notably without the experienced batsman Tamim. Bangladesh Squad for ICC World Cup 2023 Shakib Al Hasan (c), Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain Shanto (vc), Tawhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyad, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.

Throughout this year, their performance in ODIs has been respectable, securing eight victories out of 20 matches, and one didn’t have a winner. Before the Asia Cup 2023, the captaincy responsibilities were handed over to Shakib Al Hasan, a decision prompted by Tamim Iqbal's fitness concerns. Now that Tamim Iqbal is left out of the World Cup, fans are not seeing the Tamim-Litton pair in the opening. However, the absence of Tamim may not hamper Bangladesh’s performance. This year, Tamim Iqbal played 11 ODIs for Bangladesh and scored 283 runs. He did not have a significant contribution in most of the matches. His highest score in 2023 was 69 runs against Ireland at Chelmsford on May 14, 2023. Since Bangladesh is starting the World Cup with a balanced team, Tigers can do well without Tamim. Read more: ICC World Cup 2023: India ODI Squad Analysis The change in leadership could prove beneficial for the Bangladeshi team, considering Shakib's standing as arguably the best player in the squad. Renowned for leading from the front with his exceptional all-rounder skills, the veteran is expected to bring a fighting spirit to the team in the upcoming competition. Under their stylish all-rounder, Bangladesh aims to show some power against other tough opponents. Bangladesh has landed in India for the 2023 World Cup with a well-balanced squad. The team comprises a mix of experienced players and promising newcomers, a combination that holds potential advantages. The veterans like Shakib, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Mahmudullah take charge and motivate emerging talents such as Tanzid Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Shoriful Islam, and Hasan Mahmud to deliver their best for the team. Read more: Bangladesh's Fixtures for ICC World Cup 2023 Strengths Bangladesh remains competitive in cricket due to its proficient spin-bowling attack. Shakib Al Hasan's dual role as an all-rounder provides a crucial balance, particularly with his strategic bowling. Supported by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, the team benefits from a blend of off-break and left-arm spin. Shakib's experience, especially in Indian conditions, and impressive World Cup track record make him pivotal for key matches in subcontinental settings. Weakness Heading to the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, several teams, including Bangladesh, are dealing with injuries. Ebadot Hossain, a key fast bowler for Bangladesh, has been sidelined due to a significant knee injury, posing a substantial setback. Despite the team's management expressing the desire to include Tamim Iqbal in the squad, a persistent back injury has ultimately prevented his inclusion in the final lineup. The Tigers' passionate displays are admirable, but their ability to control emotions during critical moments is crucial. Past controversies, like animated celebrations and verbal conflicts, raise concerns. Read more: ICC World Cup 2023 Venues: Cities and Stadiums in India Also, Bangladesh occasionally lacks a winning mentality, exemplified by Shakib Al Hasan's prior comment. Shifting towards a confident belief in winning, rather than a defensive approach, is vital for success in the upcoming games. Key Players in Bangladesh ODI World Cup 2023 Shakib Al Hasan In the 2019 World Cup, Shakib Al Hasan emerged as a standout performer, picked by many people as the unofficial player of the Tournament. He consistently surpassed fifty in seven out of eight innings, achieving two centuries. Remarkably, he became the first cricketer to score 500 runs and take 10 wickets in a single top-level ODI tournament. Shakib also continued his performance in 2023. This year, he played 16 ODI matches so far and scored 549 runs with the highest runs of 93 and 5 fifties. He also took 14 wickets from 16 matches with 4/35 best bowling score. So, the Bangladesh team will greatly depend on Shakib’s performance as an all-rounder and a captain. Read more: ICC World Cup 2023: Schedule, Fixtures, Venues, Team List Mehidy Hasan Miraz 25-year-old all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz is an important member of the Bangladesh team. He has shown that he has the ability to play big innings when given a chance by scoring a century to open the Afghanistan match in the Asia Cup. And he is a proven name with the ball. So far, he has played 82 ODI matches for Bangladesh and grabbed 91 wickets with 4/25 best bowling innings. So, Miraz has a good chance to do some magic. Towhid Hridoy Despite his recent debut, Hridoy is swiftly becoming a prominent figure in Bangladesh cricket. Across various series and tournaments, he consistently makes an indelible mark with his remarkable talent. As an under-19 World Cup winner in 2020, he played a crucial role in steering Bangladesh towards its dream of winning the World Cup. Towhid Hridoy has been impressive in the latest matches. This year, he played 17 matches and scored 518 runs with an 86.33 strike rate. Hridoy came to the limelight after his 82 and 54 runs in the 2023 Asia Cup. However, he could not give his best in the New Zealand series in September 2023. But, still, Towhid can change the game in top order. Read more: Banglalink to Livestream ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 with Unbeatable Internet Offers and World-Class Streaming Experiences Taskin Ahmed This year, Taskin appeared in 10 innings and grabbed 21 wickets. His tremendous performance in the Asia Cup 2023, taking 9 wickets from 4 matches, made him one of the players to watch in the 2023 World Cup. Notably, the 28-year-old fast bowler played a great role in Bangladesh's triumph against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup 2023, delivering an impressive performance with bowling figures of 4 for 44 in 8.3 overs. However, Taskin got 1 wicket in the World Cup match against Against se. Final Words The Bangladesh cricket squad possesses considerable talent and the potential to make a strong showing in the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup. Nonetheless, there have been instances where the team appears to lack unity. If each player maximizes their individual talents, Bangladesh stands a chance of causing an upset in the tournament.

The Test match for the BAN vs AFG series 2023 is over. The Afghans will come back on July 1 for the three-match ODI series and two T20I matches. The ODI series will start on July 5, and the other two matches will take place on July 8 and July 11 at Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. All the matches will start at 2:00 pm Bangladesh time and will be in the day-night format. Bangladesh Cricket Board has announced the squad for the ODI series. Let’s go over the prospects of this squad. Bangladesh ODI Squad to Play Against Afghanistan Squad: Tamim Iqbal (capt), Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful Islam, Afif Hossain, Mohammad Naim In: Mohammad Naim, Afif Hossain, Taskin Ahmed Out: Yasir Ali, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, Rony Talukdar Bangladesh ODI Squad Analysis for BAN VS AFG Series 2023 Mohammad Naim and Afif Hossain have been recalled to join the Bangladesh team for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan next month. Taskin Ahmed, who couldn’t play in the games against Ireland last month, is also back in the team. Unfortunately, this time there won’t be a place for Yasir Ali, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, and Rony Talukdar in the squad. Taskin, who performed exceptionally well by taking four wickets in the second innings of the single Test against Afghanistan, has fully recovered from a side strain. As for Naim, he has made a comeback to the ODI squad after a two-year break. In the Dhaka Premier League, Naim displayed remarkable batting skills by scoring the highest number of runs, scoring 932 runs in 16 innings with an impressive average of 71.69 and a strike rate of 91.64. It seems that the selectors are considering Naim as a potential substitute opening batsman for Rony in the upcoming World Cup in India later this year. Both Taskin and Naim are potential strengths for the Bangladesh team. Read more: Najmul Hossain Shanto: A Rising Star in Bangladeshi Cricket Afif, who was not selected for the home ODI series against Ireland, has made a comeback to the team due to his outstanding performances in the recent DPL. He showcased his skills and impressed the selectors with his consistent performances. Additionally, Afif had the opportunity to lead the Bangladesh A side in two out of the three unofficial Tests against the West Indies A. However, he missed the last game, stating that he was tired and needed rest. Yasir is one of the three players who were not included in the ODI squad for the upcoming matches, despite being part of the squad last month. Yasir did not get a chance to play in Chelmsford, but he participated in two matches against Ireland in Sylhet back in March. On the other hand, Mrittunjoy, who made his debut in the ODI team in Chelmsford, has been replaced by Taskin in the squad. Key Players in Bangladesh Squad in the 2023 BAN vs AFG ODI Series Young players are now contributing to most of Bangladesh’s wins. We hope the following young players, along with veteran Mushfiqur Rahim, will lead Bangladesh in the upcoming ODI series. Najmul Hossain Shanto With 196 runs in three matches, Shanto was the top performer in the last Ireland vs Bangladesh series that took place in England. Apart from this, we have also seen his extraordinary performance in the Test match against the Afghans. So, he will likely show his brilliance again in the ODI series. Overall, he has played 24 ODI so far and scored 615 runs in total, with 117 highest scores. Considering his recent performance, it can be said that he might surpass his last batting figures. Read more: Key Performers in BAN vs AFG Test 2023 Towhid Hridoy So far, Hridoy has played only six ODI matches and has already scored 249 runs in total with a 49.80 average. He scored 108 runs in total in the last ODI series against Ireland. In his very first ODI match, Hridoy made history by achieving the highest run score ever recorded by a Bangladeshi player. He had a great opportunity to become the first player from Bangladesh to score a century while batting in the fifth-down position. However, he narrowly missed out on the world record by just 8 runs. Later Hridoy showed his potential against the Irish, and he will surely strike in the upcoming series. Mushfiqur Rahim For the last few ODI series, Mushfiqur has been in excellent form. During the Ireland series, Mushfiqur Rahim showed an impressive performance, scoring a total of 142 runs in three innings. With an outstanding average of 71, he proved to be a valuable asset for the Bangladesh team. His consistent batting display contributed significantly to the team’s success in the series, and we can expect the same for the upcoming series. Taskin Ahmed Taskin has returned after an injury, and he was absent in the last series. After the return, we have seen his excellent performance in the Test match. This year, Taskin has played 5 ODI matches but bowled in four matches. He took nine wickets in these four matches with 3/26 best bowling innings. He has helped Bangladesh win matches several times. Therefore, fans have high expectations that he will once again demonstrate his best performance, just like he did in the previous ODI series Against England. Ebadot Hossain Ebadot Hossain stood out as one of the leading wicket-takers in the Bangladesh vs Ireland home series, having taken a total of 6 wickets. However, he could not do well in Chelmsford against the Irish and took only two wickets. But his incredible performance on the home ground is truly admirable. So, we can expect that he will demonstrate his aggressiveness against the Afghans. And we have seen his fierce bowling in the Test match as he took five wickets. Read more: BCB Announces T20I Squad for Afghanistan Series Final Words Tamim Iqbal will take charge as the team captain of Bangladesh squad for this series, and he will be joined by Shakib Al Hasan, who has also been included in the squad. Both Tamim and Shakib had been recovering from injuries, which is why they were not part of the recently concluded Test match in Dhaka. Now, they are ready to contribute to the team’s efforts in the upcoming 2023 BAN vs AFG ODI series.

Bangladesh is going to play a three-match ODI series against Ireland in England next month. The series will start on May 9 at Chelmsford, and all three matches will take place at the same venue. However, the tour was scheduled for 2020, but it was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, it is a part of the Super League, and winning the series by 3-0 may help Ireland play the ODI World Cup 2023 directly. While Ireland is yet to announce the team, Bangladesh has already announced the squad for the tour. Let’s analyze the squad and see the potentiality of Bangladesh. Bangladesh ODI Squad Against Ireland  Tamim Iqbal, Litton Das, Rony Talukdar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Yasir Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Ebadot Hossain, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, and Mohammad Mrittunjoy Chowdhury. Bangladesh Squad Analysis for IRE vs BAN ODI Series 2023 BCB has announced the Bangladesh squad for the ODI series against Ireland to be held in England next month. Although Bangladesh had a 14-member squad in the home series against Ireland last month, BCB announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming tour. Left-handed pacer Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, who is waiting for his debut, has been called to the team. Pacer Taskin Ahmed is not on the team. Taskin was ruled out during the only Test against Ireland due to injury this month. At that time, he was supposed to be out of the field for about four weeks. Read More: Dhaka League: Sheikh Jamal on top going into Super League. Apart from Taskin, left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed was also left out. They were included in the last Ireland series team. Besides Mrittunjoy, Shoriful Islam and Taijul Islam have come to the team. While Shoriful and Mrittunjoy were taken in place of Taskin, Taijul Islam returned to Nasum Ahmed’s place. Mrittunjoy played for Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi club last season in Dhaka Premier League. So far, in 7 matches, he took 9 wickets at 27.88 with the best bowling performance of 3 wickets for 31 runs. Although he was in the under-19 World Cup winning team in 2020, he had to return home early due to injury. Further, Mrittunjoy’s previous BPL performance was great, but the 21-year-old could not shine well in the last season. On the other hand, Shoriful played the last ODI in August 2022. He also returned to Tests after the T20 team with the series against Ireland. The left-handed pacer who played 14 matches in this edition returned to ODIs as well. The presence of Mustafizur Rahman, along with Shakib Al Hasan and Litton Das, in the Ireland series is also noteworthy. As Shakib was in the IPL, there was a discussion about whether he will play in this series or not. However, Shakib has removed himself from this IPL season. Litton is staying for Kolkata Knight Riders till this series. Mustafiz, who is in the IPL, will also have to leave Delhi Capitals. Read More: Bangladesh Tour of Ireland 2023: Venue, Schedule, Fixtures, Previous Records Yasir Ali, who scored 17 and 7 runs in 2 matches against the Irish in the home series, has retained his place in the team. Rony Talukdar, who is waiting for his debut, has also been retained. But he should be thought of mainly as a backup opener. As England’s pitch will be challenging, team selector Minhajul Abedin and team management have considered different factors before the announcement. And they also wanted to test some players before the Asia Cup, which will help selectors to create the team for the World Cup. Bangladesh Players to Watch  Since Bangladesh just played with Ireland, the most recent performers will surely get attention in the upcoming tour. Mushfiqur Rahim Mushfiqur’s overall performance against the last Ireland series was incredible. To speak about the ODI performance, he scored 144 runs in two innings with a record-breaking century. In the second ODI match, Mushfiqur broke Shakib’s 14-year record by scoring a century off only 60 balls. He secured his ninth century on the last ball of the innings, collecting a total of 100 runs with 14 fours and 2 sixes. So, fans will surely be looking forward to his performance. Read More: Saudi Arabia plans to launch 'richest T20 league' Towhid Hridoy Towhid scored 141 runs in two innings. During his ODI debut, Towhid Hridoy set a new record for the highest run scored by a Bangladeshi player. Despite having a good chance to become the first player to achieve a century in fifth down, Hridoy fell short of the world record by just 8 runs. However, this broke the record previously held by Nasir Hossain, who had scored 63 runs during his debut match for Bangladesh, and Hridoy accomplished this feat after 12 years. Ebadot Hossain Ebadot was one of the top wicket-takers in the last series. He took 6 wickets in total. In the first ODI match, Ebadot Hossain displayed an impressive bowling performance. In his 6.5 overs, he took 4 wickets while giving 42 runs with no maiden overs. His economy rate of 6.14 was quite impressive, considering the fact that he was constantly putting pressure on the Irish batsmen with his line and length. So, it is evident that he understood the Irish batsmen’s playing style, and we may see some incredible performances from Ebadot again. Final Words Bangladesh is going to the UK to play Ireland with a full-strength team. Overall, there are five pacers in the 15-member team. Hence, Bangladesh will try to keep pressure on the Irish using the pacers. So, the IRE vs BAN ODI series 2023 will be a thrilling encounter between the two teams. Although Bangladesh emerged as a winner on the home ground, the Tigers may need to change their tactic in England. We may see some standout individual performances from Bangladeshi players.

After winning the ODI series against Ireland, Bangladesh is now hoping to repeat its performance against Ireland. Bangladesh will play three-match T20 series against Ireland on March 27, 29, and 31. All these matches will be played at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. Previously Bangladesh whitewashed the World Champion England in a T20 series ten days ago. And the team has enough confidence to whitewash Ireland too. Let's take a look at the Bangladesh T20 Squad against Ireland in the upcoming 2023 BAN vs IRE T20 Series. Bangladesh T20 Squad Against Ireland Shakib Al Hasan (capt), Litton Das (wk), Rony Talukdar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Rishad Hossain, Jaker Ali. Changes in Bangladesh Team for BAN vs IRE T20 Series 2023 The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced a team of fourteen members to compete in the upcoming three-match T20I series against Ireland, starting on March 27th. Two new players, Rishad Hossain, and Jaker Ali Anik, have been included in the Bangladesh squad for the upcoming T20I series against Ireland. Leg spinner Rishad has been a part of the senior setup for a few years now but has yet to be given a proper chance - even in the domestic tournaments. The last time he played in a domestic tournament was two years ago in the Dhaka Premier League T20s. Read More: Bangladesh vs Ireland: Tigers earn first 10-wicket ODI win to seal series  Unfortunately, Rishad has only bowled 5.1 overs in the current first-class competition. This makes his inclusion in the team the most interesting call. Chandika Hathurusingha, the head coach, likely wanted to observe his performance at the international level. The such experiment is not new for Hathurusingha. During his first period as the coach for the Bangladesh team in 2014, he chose leg spinner Jubair Hossain too. On the other hand, Jaker has been a standout performer in the Bangladesh Cricket League, notching up three consecutive centuries and finishing as the tournament's highest run-scorer with 492 runs in six innings. He was also a key contributor to Comilla Victorians' BPL championship victory this season. However, the regular T20 players Afif Hossain and Nurul Hasan were left out of the squad. Afif, along with Shoriful Islam, was also excluded from the ODI squad for the last game. The exclusion of Afif is a major disappointment for the young, energetic batter. His 61 consecutive appearances in T20I had come to a halt when he was excluded from the third T20I match against England. Until recently, Afif was guaranteed to be chosen for both the white-ball formats, but he currently finds himself on the sidelines. But Shoriful was released from the ODI roster to participate in the Dhaka Premier League but is included in the T20 team against Ireland. Additionally, Tanvir Islam and Rezaur Rahman, who were in the squad that played against England, were not included against Ireland. Read More: Hasan Records Maiden Five-wicket Haul as Ireland Tumble for 101  Bangladesh Squad Analysis Apart from the changes mentioned above, the squad remains similar to the squad that whitewashed Bangladesh. So, it can be assumed that Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Shakib Al Hasan will be Bangladesh’s trump card as they have shown their class against England. Najmul Hossain Shanto Najmul Hossain Shanto's stellar performance in Bangladesh vs England T20 series was remarkable, amassing a total of 144 runs and an impact of 153.2 over three matches. He displayed his remarkable proficiency at the highest level of cricket, with an average impact per match of 51, ultimately leading to Bangladesh's victory. His BPL experience was evident, as he put in an exceptional effort across all three matches, making an invaluable contribution to the team's success. In addition to that, he scored 98 runs in the ongoing ODI series against the Irish. Mehidy Hasan Miraz Miraz is also in good form. Mehidy Hasan Miraz put on an impressive show during Bangladesh's T20 series against England, offering a well-rounded performance in both batting and bowling. Across two matches, his total impact was a formidable 104.4, averaging out to an impressive 52.2 per match. Read More: Bangladesh vs Ireland: Tigers call up two uncapped players to T20 squad His most noteworthy performance came in the second T20, where he took four crucial wickets for just 12 runs, helping his team to secure a victory. Demonstrating his versatility, Miraz made a valuable contribution through both bowling and batting, earning him praise for his efforts. Shakib Al Hasan And finally, the captain Shakib Al Hasan is the man behind the whitewash against England. His game plan and tactics are noteworthy for Bangladesh. Often, analysts speak of Shakib Al Hasan's acuity in cricket, and he displayed both good judgment and composure in Bangladesh vs England series. He demonstrated amazing skill when it came to managing his bowlers. So, it is expected that we will see his brilliant captaincy against the Irish too. Under Hathurusingha, it seems the Bangladesh team has got a boost. And the coach’s strategy appears to outrank the team’s weakness. Final Words Bangladesh has taken one year plan to develop the T20 team targeting the World Cup in 2024. That’s why the management and the coach want to look at new cricketers to move forward with the plan. Apart from that, the dropped cricketers will also be under their watch. So, this Bangladesh’s T20 squad against Ireland will bring some new experience for the management. Read More: Mushfiq’s Record-Breaking Fastest ODI Century

Bangladesh already lost the ODI series against England. Now, the upcoming 2023 BAN vs ENG T20 series starting from March 9 is the only hope to beat England in the bilateral T20 series. While England announced the T20 squad 21 days earlier in the one-day series, Bangladesh just announced the T20 team after the second ODI. The T20 series will start on March 9 at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. The remaining two matches of the series will be played at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on March 12 and 14, respectively. Analysis of Bangladesh T20 Squad Against England Minhajul Abedin Nannu, the chief selector, revealed that Bangladesh think tank is taking a long-term approach to the T20 format and, thus, has included several new players in the T20 squad for the forthcoming England series. Five players who had an impact in the recently completed Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) have been chosen for the Tigers T20I squad to take on England in the coming weeks. Shamim Hossain and Rony Talukdar were the returning players, while Towhid Hridoy, Rejaur Rahman Raja, and Tanvir Islam were selected for their first T20I appearance. Left-arm spinner Tanvir has bowled well in BPL. He took 18 wickets for the champions Comilla Victorians in the 20-over tournament. Towhid Hridoy scored 403 runs in 13 matches for Sylhet Strikers. Sylhet Strikers pacer Rejaur Rahman Raja took 13 wickets in 8 matches. Rony Talukdar, who opened for Rangpur Riders, got a chance in the team after performing in BPL. Read More: Bangladesh-England series tickets to go on sale in Chattogram Sunday Shamim Hossain Patwari, who played the last international T20 match in 2021, has also returned to the squad, attracting attention towards the end of the BPL. He was a member of the U-19 World Cup winning team who played 10 T20s for the country and returned to the national team after a great BPL for Rangpur Riders. Mosaddek Hossain, Yasir Ali Rabi, Sabbir Rahman, and Mohammad Saifuddin have been left out of the T20 World Cup squad to make room for newcomers. 32-year-old Rony Talukdar played the only T20 for the country in 2015. Where he scored 21 runs off 22 balls against South Africa in Mirpur. BCB has announced a 15-member squad for the first two matches of the T20 series against England with Shakib Al Hasan as the captain. Bangladesh T20 Squad in BAN v ENG Series 2023 Shakib Al Hasan (Captain), Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Afif Hossain, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Nasum Ahmed, Nurul Hasan Sohan, Shamim Hossain, Rony Talukdar, Towhid Hridoy, Rejaur Rahman Raja and Tanvir Islam. Read More: Tamim Disappointed Over Team's Sloppy Performance in Loss to England Key Batters of Bangladesh Squad in 2023 BAN v ENG Series  Towhid Hridoy Fans will be eagerly awaiting Towhid Hridoy's first appearance in the T20 series, as he got a chance in the national team due to his successful performance in the BPL. In BPL, he scored 403 runs with a strike rate of 140 and five fifties. Overall, he played 49 T20 matches for the Bangladesh U19 team and scored 1126 runs with five 85 highest scores. It is now up to him to show what he can bring to the Bangladesh team for their match against England. Litton Das Litton Das has been in outstanding form lately. Although he only played one T20 against England, we are eager to see his incredible batting. With 379 runs, Litton is the fourth top scorer in BPL 2023. Apart from this, in his career from 2015-2022, Litton played 65 T20 matches for Bangladesh and scored 1388. However, he only scored 9 runs in his only T20 against England in 2021. So, it is expected that Litton will continue his incredible T20 performance and help Bangladesh in the T20 series. Read More: Bangladesh's ODI series winning streak at home ends with a massive defeat to England Najmul Hossain Shanto Najmul Hossain Shanto can be another key batter for Bangladesh. So far, he has played 17 T20 matches for Bangladesh and scored 384 runs with a high score of 71. However, he has a good track record in recent BPL. In his 15 BPL matches, Shanto has amassed 516 runs at an impressive average of 39.69. He has batted in all 15 innings, remaining not out twice, and has the highest score of 89. Additionally, his BPL 2023 strike rate of 116.74 showcases his ability to score quickly and efficiently. With such impressive stats, Shanto is definitely a cricketer to watch out for against England. Key Bowlers in Bangladesh Team in 2023 BAN v ENG Series  Mehidy Hasan Miraz Since his white ball debut against England on October 20, 2016, Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been showing his excellence with the ball. The English batsmen were completely taken aback by the power of his delivery, as he took six wickets in the first innings in his debut test. However, Miraz is yet to play any T20 against England. In his last two ODI matches with England, Miraz took 4 wickets, which indicates that he understood the English batsmen’s tactics. So, going up against England in the T20 will surely motivate Miraz to perform to the best of his abilities. Read More: Bangladesh secures spot in 2024 Women's T20 World Cup as hosts Taskin Ahmed We must now look ahead to Taskin Ahmed's performance following Miraz, who is evidently a very committed bowler for Bangladesh. Taskin was invited to play three games in the ongoing PSL but declined the offer as he was more eager to take on England. Up to now, he has got four wickets in two matches in this ongoing ODI series. So, he will surely give his best in the bilateral T20 series against the English. Key Bangladeshi Allrounder in BAN v ENG T20 Series  Shakib Al Hasan Regarded as the greatest cricketer of all time in Bangladesh, Shakib Al Hasan is capable of altering the course of any match at any time. We eagerly await his batting and bowling prowess in the T20 series. However, he didn’t have an excellent performance in the ongoing ODI series. He scored 66 runs and took 2 wickets in two matches. Shakib played only one T20 against England and scored only 4 runs. Further, he is yet to get any wickets against England in T20. So, the upcoming series will be Shakib’s chance to show his class. Read More: Tamim-Shakib Clash: How ready Bangladesh are to face England Final Words Bangladesh's T20 team is not as organized as ODIs. There is much room for change and development. Najmul Hossain Shanto’s opening pair has scope for change. Sylhet Strikers opener Tawhid Hridoy batted very well in the BPL. So, he might get a chance in the starting eleven. Since Bangladesh is moving forward with a long-term plan for the T20 team, we might see some changes in three matches of the BAN vs ENG T20 series 2023.
