The Bangladesh Cricket Board has named an unchanged 16-man squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Pakistan, doubling down on the same group that recently toppled Sri Lanka on their own turf.
Riding high after a dramatic comeback to clinch the series 2-1 in Colombo, the Tigers—under the leadership of Litton Das—are brimming with confidence. That fighting spirit convinced selectors to stick with the winning formula as they brace for a sterner test against a Pakistan side that swept them 3-0 just two months ago.
For Bangladesh, this isn’t just about payback. It’s a golden opportunity to showcase the progress made over the past year. Litton’s captaincy has sparked a newfound consistency, with back-to-back away series wins against the West Indies and Sri Lanka. Now, with home advantage and momentum on their side, the Tigers will be eyeing another upset in familiar conditions.
Bangladesh Squad for Pakistan Series:
| Litton Das (captain) | Tanzid Hasan | Parvez Hossain Emon | Mohammad Naim |
|---|---|---|---|
| Towhid Hridoy | Jaker Ali | Shamim Hossain | Mehidy Hasan Miraz |
| Rishad Hossain | Mahedi Hasan | Nasum Ahmed | Taskin Ahmed |
| Mustafizur Rahman | Shoriful Islam | Tanzim Hasan Sakib | Mohammad Saifuddin |
All three T20Is will light up the Shere Bangla National Stadium on July 20, 22, and 24. Pakistan, having touched down in Dhaka earlier this week, will be eager to extend their recent dominance.
With continuity comes belief. The Bangladesh team management has made it clear: this squad isn’t just here to compete—they’re here to win, and win often. The next chapter of that journey begins on Sunday.
