Shakib returns for India ODIs

Ace Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who had skipped the Tigers' last ODI series -- against Zimbabwe in August -- returned to the squad along with paceman Ebadot Hossain for the three-match ODI series against India next month.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced a 16-member squad for the series, slated to begin on December 4 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.

Although all the regular players from the ODI setup had made the cut, Mosaddek Hossain and Shoriful Islam failed to get the selectors' nod. Spinner Taijul Islam, who had also featured in the Tigers' ODI squad during the tour of Zimbabwe this year, has been left out.

The Tigers, led by Tamim Iqbal, will play the second match also in Mirpur on December 7 before playing the final match in Chattogram on December 10. All the one-day matches will be day-night affairs beginning from 12 PM Bangladesh Time.

Squad:

Tamim Iqbal (Captain), Liton Das, Anamul Haque Bijoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Afif Hossain, Yasir Ali, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Ebadot Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, Mahmudullah Riyad, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Nurul Hasan Sohan.
