The spin department includes Rishad Hossain and Nasum Ahmed.
There are four changes from the XI that played against Afghanistan in their last T20I. Captain Litton Kumar Das returns to the side after recovering from injury. Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, and Tanzid Hasan Tamim also make their way back into the lineup.
Dropped from the previous XI are Mohammad Saifuddin, Parvez Hossain Emon, Jaker Ali Anik and Shoriful Islam.
