Bangladesh Squad Champions Trophy 2025: Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced its team for the Champions Trophy. The command of the team will be in the hands of Nazmul Hussain Shanto. He would be getting support from senior players like Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah. But veteran player Shakib Al Hasan has been dropped from the team. Apart from him, Liton Das has also been dropped from the squad, who has not been able to score even a half-century in the last 13 ODI innings.
Shakib Al Hasan has been dropped from the team because he is facing a ban due to illegal bowling action. His bowling action was tested for the second time, unfortunately he was disappointed for the second time as well. Possibly this can also be called the end of Shakib’s ODI career. Let us remind you that in November last year, Captain Shanto could not play in the series against West Indies due to hamstring injury, hence he will also be making a comeback in the team.
There was speculation that Tamim Iqbal could be a part of this squad, but he has recently ended his international career. Parvez Hussain, who has played 7 T20 matches so far, has got a chance to make his ODI debut. Bangladesh team management has also expressed confidence in Nahid Rana, who bowls with his tall stature and fast pace. All eyes will be on Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah because they will be the two most senior players of the team.
Bangladesh squad for Champions Trophy: Nazmul Hussain Shanto (captain), Soumya Sarkar, Tanjeed Hasan, Taheed Hriday, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Zakir Ali, Mehdi Hasan, Rishad Hussain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Parvez Hussain, Naseem Ahmed, Tanzeem Hasan Saqib, Nahid Rana.
