Bangladesh have an experienced squad
Bangladesh have an experienced squad. Tamim Iqbal leads the side with the versatile Litton Das adding quality. Veteran batter Mushfiqur Rahim makes his presence felt in the middle order alongside Shakib.
Mahmudullah will want to do well and is another senior figure in the ranks.

All-rounder Mosaddek Hossain misses out
Bangladesh all-rounder Mosaddek Hossain has been left out alongside pacer Shoriful Islam and left-arm spinner Taijul Islam.
"We included Mosaddek in the tour of Zimbabwe for the ODIs as we did not have Shakib. As he returned in the 50-over fold, we opted to drop him," BCB chief selector Minhajul Abedin told Cricbuzz on Thursday.
