Tigers name unchanged squad for Pakistan T20Is

As expected, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has named an unchanged squad for the T20I series against Pakistan following the tour of Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh are slated to play three T20I against Pakistan on July 20, 22 and 24, all three matches to be played at Mirpur's Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. The Litton Das-led side won the T20I series against hosts Sri Lanka before returning to Dhaka today.

Backup opener Mohammed Naim Sheikh and all-rounder Mohammed Saifuddin, who both came into the T20I side in the last series, have been included for the Pakistan series as well with the team management looking for solidity and stability ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup.

Meanwhile, former three-format captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, who was dropped from the T20I squad for the Sri Lanka tour, remains out of the side along opener Soumya Sarkar.
