Bangladesh will be boosted by the return of Shakib Al Hasan, who missed the two-match Test series against South Africa due to personal reasons. The Tigers missed the services of their ace all-rounder in the series that they lost 2-0, which included two disappointing fourth innings showings where they were dismissed for 53 and 80 respectively.
Shoriful Islam’s inclusion is subject to fitness, who also missed the series against South Africa due to an ankle injury. Taskin Ahmed, who sustained a shoulder injury during the first Test against the Proteas remains unavailable as he continues his recovery.
The Bangladesh squad led by Mominul Haque has a good blend of experience and youth, with the likes of Rejaur Rahman Raja and Shohidul Islam waiting in the ranks for their maiden Test caps.
