The national cricket board has announced a sixteen-member squad for the upcoming home series, blending seasoned performers with three uncapped youngsters who impressed in the domestic circuit.
The head coach said the selection reflects a long-term vision. "We are building a team for the next five years, not just the next five matches," he told reporters at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium.
Fans will be watching the young fast bowler from Chattogram closely; his pace and control have drawn comparisons with the country's greats. Tickets for the opening match go on sale Friday, and demand is expected to be high.
