BCB has revealed the Bangladesh squad for the Champions Trophy 2025 which is set to be played between 19 February and 9 March 2025 in Pakistan and UAE.
As per the Champions Trophy 2025 Bangladesh Schedule, “The Tigers” will play their first match against India on February 20 in Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. Bangladesh are slotted in Group A alongside India, Pakistan and New Zealand.
Nazmul Hossain Shanto was named captain of the 15-member squad for the CT 2025. Shakib Al Hasan is one of the major names missing from the lineup.
The 37-year-old has been suspended from bowling in competitions under the jurisdiction of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) based on the outcome of an independent re-assessment conducted at Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science in Chennai, India last month.
Although he was eligible to play solely as a batter, Bangladesh have opted not to include him in the squad. Bangladesh will also miss the service of Tamim Iqbal who recently announced his international retirement.
Among the senior names, wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim and all-rounder Mahmudullah have cemented their place in the Bangladesh Squad for Champions Trophy 2025.
Bangladesh hasn’t won the Champions Trophy so far and will look to bag their first trophy this edition.
