Major Highlights From the Declared Squads  NurulHasan and pacer Shoriful Islam have been picked in all three formats Wicket-keeper batsman NurulHasanSohan has been one of the top performers in the domestic circuit, but he has been ignored in the last two years. Finally, he has been selected for the forthcoming series against Zimbabwe in all three formats. Sohan has a chance to win a spot in the playing XI because of Rahim's injury and he will be keen to show his worth if given the opportunity.
