US EditionNo Place for Mehidy in Bangladesh Asia Cup Squad
The 16-player squad includes two returning batters and excludes former T20I captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and star all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz due to recent form.
- On Aug 22, 2025, Bangladesh named a 16-player squad for Asia Cup 2025 and a preceding three-match home T20I series against the Netherlands, retaining Litton Das as captain while recalling Quazi Nurul Hasan Sohan and Saif Hassan and omitting former T20I captain Najmul Hossain Shanto.
- Selectors recalled Quazi Nurul Hasan Sohan after strong Bangladesh A performances in the Top End T20 series in Darwin, and Saif Hassan returned following the 2023 Asian Games, while Mehidy Hasan Miraz remained on standby due to limited impact.
- The squad features a pace attack led by Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, and Mohammad Saifuddin, with six all-rounders and four wicketkeepers among the 16 selected players.
- The home series begins on August 30 with Bangladesh hosting Netherlands in Sylhet for three T20Is, followed by their Asia Cup opener against Hong Kong in Abu Dhabi on September 11 within Group B alongside Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.
- Viewed as a stepping stone to the T20 World Cup, Asia Cup 2025 in the UAE is crucial for Bangladesh, who reached the final in 2012, 2016 and 2018 but finished runners-up each time.
