The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced a 25-member preliminary squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 and the three-match T20I series against the Netherlands, scheduled for later this month.
Wicketkeeper-batter Nurul Hasan has made a return to the squad, while all-rounder Mosaddek Hossain has once again been overlooked despite his consistent performances in domestic cricket. Notably, Mosaddek has also not been selected for the Bangladesh A squad for their upcoming tour.
All-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz has retained his place in the preliminary squad, even though he has been struggling for form in recent T20I matches against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
Nurul will join Mahidul Islam Ankon, Saif Hassan, Hasan Mahmud, and Naim Sheikh in traveling to Darwin, Australia, for the Top End T20 Series 2025.
The group is set to depart on August 9 and will also play a four-day match against South Australia following the tournament. This marks Bangladesh’s second appearance in the Top End T20 Series after their debut last year.
