Bangladesh Test squad for Pakistan series: Shanto leads 15-member team; Tanzid, uncapped Amite Hasan called up


Najmul Hossain Shanto will lead a 15-member Bangladesh squad when it welcomes Pakistan for a two-Test series, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced on Sunday.

A new name amongst the ranks is wicketkeeper-batter Amite Hasan who received a maiden national team call-up after impressing in the domestic circuit. He has amassed 3650 runs in 49 First-Class matches.

Moreover, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, who’s been part of Bangladesh’s white-ball set-up since 2023, got his first Test team call-up.

The first Test will start on May 8 with the match being held at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. The second Test will begin on May 16 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

The Bangla Tigers are currently playing New Zealand at home in a multi-format white-ball series and have beaten the Kiwis 2-1 in the ODIs.
