Batter Soumya Sarkar and pacer Shoriful Islam made their way back to the Bangladesh T20 World Cup squad as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) submitted the final 15-member squad today, ahead of the October 14 cut-off date for any final changes.

The inclusion of Soumya and Shoriful -- who both were initially placed in the reserves -- have resulted in Sabbir Rahman and Mohammad Saifuddin getting sidelined after the latter duo were slotted in the initial 15-member squad, declared on September 14.  

Following winless outings in the just-concluded tri-nation series in New Zealand, the Shakib Al Hasan-led side are set to head for Down Under on Saturday. The Tigers will begin their World Cup campaign with two warm-up matches against Afghanistan and South Africa in Brisbane on October 17 and 19, respectively, before featuring in their World Cup opener on October 24.
