big World Cup season is here and all the teams are gearing up for it.
While New Zealand, India, Australia have already announced their World
Cup Squads, Bangladesh and England are the latest to join the list. The
Tigers (Famously known as) have announced their 15-member squad, and
Mashrafe Mortaza will be leading their team in the coveted tournament.
SHAKIB RETURNS
Shakib
Al Hasan is back in the squad after having missed the ODI series
against New Zealand due to a broken finger. The 32-year all-rounder has
been named as the Vice-Captain of the side and will be one of the key
players for Bangladesh. Shakib, also is one of the best all-rounders in
the world, ranking 2nd in
the ICC rankings, for his impeccable performance, both with the bat and
the ball. He has scored 5,577 runs and claimed 247 wickets, in 195 ODIs
Talking
about comebacks, even Mosaddek Hossain has found himself in the WC
squad. Hossain, who plays the role of a middle-order batsman for
Bangladesh, has last played for his country during Asia Cup, which was
held in 2018.

ABU JAYED ALL SET TO MAKE HIS DEBUT
But
the player who that grabbed all the eye-balls was Abu Jayed, who will
be making his grand debut in ODIs, in the world cup. Jayed, who is best
known for his swing bowling, has represented Bangladesh in tests and has
been impressive with his performance against New Zealand. Jayed was
selected over Taskin Ahmed, who had been out of action due to an ankle
injury.
Majority
of the squad was an easy choice for the selectors. However, they had to
sweat over making one crucial choice – A batsman who can play the role
of a pacer too. The selectors found themselves in a fix over the choice
between Shafiul Islam, Taskin Ahmed and Rahi. However, Rahi made the
cut, considering his recent performances. Taskin had to stay out due to
his injury scare and Shafiul still needs to find his form back. Rahi can
also be vital in death overs with his swing bowling, and will surely
double up the swing attack along with the young Abu Jayed, which will be
an asset in the English conditions.
Bangladesh
will kick-off their World cup tournament from June 02, where they will
play against South Africa at The Oval, London. They will also be playing
2 practice matches, one each against Pakistan and India, which is
scheduled on May 26 and May 28, respectively. The tournament is set to
start from May 30th with the first match being played between England and South Africa, at The Oval.
