The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced a 15-member High Performance (HP) squad to face the visiting Malaysia national cricket team in a two-match T20 series. All-rounder S M Meherob Hasan has been appointed captain to lead the unit.
The roster balances promising young prospects with experienced international caps seeking to regain form and momentum, including out-of-favor international batter Sabbir Rahman and aggressive left-handed batter Shamim Hossain Patwari. Senior pace-bowling options like Mohammad Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, Abu Hider Rony, and Abdul Gaffar Saqlain also bolster the bowling unit.
The Malaysian squad arrives in Dhaka on Wednesday, August 5, ahead of their two-week bilateral tour.
