Allrounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz has earned a recall\u00a0as Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced a 15-member squad for three-match\u00a0T20 International series against India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miraz is considered as the replacement of Shakib Al Hasan who has recently\u00a0retired from the shortest format of the cricket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miraz, the most consistent player for Bangladesh in Test and ODI format over\u00a0the last two years, played his last T20 game against Afghanistan 14 months\u00a0ago in Sylhet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He made 248 runs with the highest of 46 and took 13 wickets in 25 matches in\u00a0T20 format, a stat that didn't justify his talent. Due to his poor form, he\u00a0was not considered in the squad of the last T20 World Cup. The allrounder\u00a0termed the axe from the World Cup-bound team as the painful chapter of his\u00a0
career.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the BCB was in favour of giving him another chance to fill the void of a\u00a0top allrounder like Shakib, as they believe that he will be able to translate\u00a0his recent form to the T20 cricket this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Left-arm spinner Tanvir Islam and allrounder Soumya Sarkar were the two other\u00a0players who were left out from the squad that played the T20 World Cup, the\u00a0Tigers last assignment in T20 cricket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Left-hand opener Parvez Hossain Emon and left-arm spinner were recalled to\u00a0replace the duo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pacer Shoriful Islam who missed the two-match Test series, retained his place\u00a0in T20 squad after recovering from the injury he sustained during Pakistan\u00a0Test series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bangladesh's T20 series against India starts in Gwalior on October 6. The\u00a0second T20 is in Delhi on October 9 while Hyderabad will host the series-ending match on October 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last time when Bangladesh played a T20 series on Indian soil in 2019, they\u00a0lost the series 2-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bangladesh are currently playing the Test series against India. They lost the\u00a0first Test in Chennai by 280 runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Squad: Najmul Hossain Shanto (Captain), Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Parvez Hossain\u00a0Emon, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah Riyad, Liton Das, Jaker Ali Anik, Mehidy\u00a0Hassan Miraz, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed,\u00a0Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Rakibul Hasan.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
