Tigers' World T20 squad submitted

The Bangladesh national selection committee submitted to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) its 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC World Twenty20 on Monday.

While the squad is yet to be revealed, it was learnt that young pacer Abu Haider and exciting wicketkeeper-batsman Nurul Hasan, both of who made their debuts during the Zimbabwe series last month, have a good chance of making it to the team.

The pace department of the squad, which already seems packed with the likes of Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, Mustafizur Rahman and Al-Amin Hossain apart from Haider, might also include Taskin Ahmed who bowled quite well in the last T20I against Zimbabwe.

The only other position that remains vacant is that of the bowling all-rounder. Nasir Hossain and Shuvagata Hom are key contenders for that spot. Based on the fact that Shuvagata was picked ahead of Nasir during the Zimbabwe series, the former could make the cut as well.

If he is picked, he could very well be the third full-time spinner in the squad behind Shakib Al Hasan and Arafat Sunny. The squad is expected to be revealed once BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon returns to Dhaka later this week.

With the World Cup squad submitted, the

next assignment for the selectors will be to provide the squad for the Asia

Cup which begins on February 24.
