Bangladesh Cricket Board named an unchanged squad on Saturday morning for the opening two ODIs against New Zealand. Mehidy Hasan Miraz leads the side, with Najmul Hossain Shanto serving as his deputy. The series gets underway on April 17 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka.
Bangladesh have kept things simple. They have not tinkered, not rotated, and not gambled. They have backed the same group that faced Pakistan series which they won 2-1, signalling trust over experimentation.
Bangladesh squad:
Litton Kumar Das, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Soumya Sarkar, Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto (VC), Tawhid Hridoy, Mahidul Islam Ankon, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (C), Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Nahid Rana, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman
