BAN vs ENG: Bangladesh T20 Squad For England Revised; Soumya Sarkar Left Out

Bangladesh has announced five changes to their T20I roster for their upcoming matches versus England. Rony Talukdar joins to the team after an eight-year absence, Shamim Hossain returns after a two-year absence, while Towhid Hridoy, Rejaur Rahman, and Tanvir Islam get their first T20I call-ups.

This season’s Bangladesh Premier League had success for all five new additions. Talukdar’s solitary international appearance came in a T20I against South Africa in 2015, but he was the BPL’s second top run-getter this year, with 425 runs at a strike rate of 129.17, and he helped Rangpur Riders reach the second round. Towhid was the tournament’s third-highest run-scorer, having joined the ODI team after making 403 runs at a strike rate of 140 in the BPL.

Shamim only struck 175 runs at a strike rate of 135.65, but his 71 in the BPL eliminator for Riders helped him win a comeback. Shamim has always been seen as a future T20 batsman for Bangladesh, and the selectors have been a little more patient with him this time around.

Tanvir, the BPL’s joint greatest wicket-taker, with 17 wickets at an average of 17.58 to assist Comilla Victorians win their fourth title. Rejaur collected 13 wickets at 19.84 each.
