Bangladesh have come a long way since their early struggles, achieving significant milestones and earning respect on the global stage. Their journey in the ICC Champions Trophy, particularly reaching the semifinals in the last edition and facing a tough defeat against a strong Indian side, is a testament to their growth and potential. These efforts and experiences are key in shaping a team’s resilience and ambition.
Speaking about Bangladesh’s squad for Champions Trophy 2025, BCB made a bold decision by dropping veteran opener Litton Das, whereas it will be all-but-last chance for Soumya Sarkar, who barely made a cut into the squad after a strong showing against the West Indies. On the other hand, Bangladesh’s playing XI for the Champions Trophy 2025 will miss their veteran Shakib al Hasan as well. On that note, let us check out the probable Bangladeshi playing XI for the Champions Trophy 2025.

Bangladesh playing XI for CT 2025
Top Order:
- The likes of Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto will play a vital role in giving a good start to Bangladesh. Leading the team from the front, their ability with the bat, especially in the field restrictions, will be crucial. With Litton Das missing out, Tanzid Hasan and skipper Shanto will have to take on additional responsibility to anchor the innings.
Middle Order:
Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Towhid Hridoy, alongside veterans Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah, will hold the key for Bangladesh in the middle order. The batters mentioned above take some time to settle down but hold good hitting capabilities towards the ending phase of an innings. Apart from their batting abilities, Miraz and Mahmudullah can also roll over their arms and strike key wickets for the Bangla Tigers.
Bowlers:
Among the spinners, Rishad Hossain who is rather young in the international arena, holds the ability to outfox the batters with his variations. The pace-trio of Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed and Tanzim Hasan Sakib complete our Bangladesh’s playing XI for CT 2025.
