Tomorrow, Bangladesh is going to take part in an exciting cricketing action against Afghanistan. The BCB has already announced the skipper for the ODI series: Najmul Hossain Shanto will captain the side. This decision follows discussions between Shanto and BCB President Faruque Ahmed.
However, the BCB has not yet named a captain for the West Indies tour later in November, where Bangladesh will play two Test matches, three ODIs, and three T20Is.
The Bangladesh cricket team has already arrived in the UAE. Shakib Al Hasan was initially expected to play in this series, but the BCB announced the squad without him. Bangladesh will play their first ODI on November 6th in Sharjah, considered one of the most fascinating cricket grounds in the world. Their second and third ODIs will be on November 9th and 11th, respectively. The entire cricketing nation is eagerly anticipating this intriguing clash.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board has already announced their squad. Bangladesh began their preparation for the upcoming three-match ODI series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Monday, November 4th, without uncapped Nahid Rana and left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed. Due to visa complications, this duo has not yet made the trip to the UAE and is hoping to arrive on November 5th. Bangladesh had a full-fledged training session in Sharjah, ahead of a series that is likely to be the beginning of their preparation for the upcoming Champions Trophy in February and March next year.
