Bangladesh Announce Squad For Asia Cup; Tanzid, Shamim Get Maiden ODI Call-Ups
Bangladesh on Saturday announced their squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023 with uncapped opener Tanzid Tamim and young batter Shamim Patowary getting maiden ODI call-ups. Star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who was named as the new Bangladesh captain on Friday after Tamim Iqbal stepped down from the post last week, will lead the side during the Asia Cup, beginning on August 30. The 22-year-old Tanzid, who scored three half-centuries in the Emerging Asia Cup, has been rewarded for his consistent performances and in the absence of Tamim provides Bangladesh with an opening option.
Meanwhile, Shamim, who has featured fairly regularly in T20Is since his debut in July 2021 will now get a chance to showcase his skills in the 50-over format.
