Shanto to captain Bangladesh in third ODI against New Zealand
Written by I Dig SportsThe hosts have also changed the make-up of the side from the first two ODIs, for which they had rested a number of World Cup-bound players. Most of those players have returned for the third ODI, while stand-in captain Litton Das, Tamim Iqbal and Mustafizur Rahman, who had played the first two games, have now been rested in turn.
Shanto returns from a hamstring injury he suffered during the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka earlier this month, where he was Bangladesh's highest run-getter. Mushfiqur, Mehidy, Taskin and Shoriful, who were all given breaks after the Asia Cup, will be looking to get some game time ahead of the World Cup.
Bangladesh squad: Najmul Hossain Shanto (capt), Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Zakir Hasan, Anamul Haque Bijoy, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hassan Miraz, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud and Rishad Hossain
