Mosaddek Hossain and Nurul Hasan Sohan have earned recalls to Bangladesh’s ODI squad for the first two matches of the upcoming series against Australia in Dhaka.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced a 15 member squad on Wednesday for the opening two games of the three match series. The first ODI will be played on June 9, followed by the second match on June 11. The final ODI is scheduled for June 14.
