Naim Shaikh is out furture prospect – BCB Chief Selector

After slumping to a narrow 25-run defeat at the hands of Afghanistan, Bangladesh have called back experienced pacemen Rubel Hossain and Shafiul Islam in their 15-member national squad. Hossain, who has not appeared in a T20I match for Bangladesh since August last year, has been recalled in order to add some experience to the pace attack.

“We picked Naim Shaikh as he is one of our future prospects. He is playing well for quite some time and we feel it is the right time to see how he handles the pressure of international cricket,” chief selector Minhajul Abedin told Cricbuzz on Monday.

Apart from Rubel and Shafiul, Bangladesh have drafted in Najmul Hossain, the offspinner, teenaged leg-spinning-allrounder Aminul Islam, and exciting young opening batsman Mohammad Naim. Najmul, 21, has played two Test matches and three ODIs since making his international debut in January 2017.

Both those matches, as well as Afghanistan’s win over Zimbabwe, were played in Dhaka, and now the action shifts to Chattogram for the second set of round-robin matches.
