As ridiculous as this may sound, something like this is going to happen. The BCB selection panel has finalized the 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup within the stipulated time frame set by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The panel led by Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu selected the team and sent it to ICC through BCB. But BCB will not officially reveal who is in the 15-man squad right now.

According to the schedule set by the ICC, the 15-man squad for the World Cup must be announced by May 1. After that the squad can be changed without any reason till 25th May. Players can then be changed with the approval of the ICC.

Here the declaration should be sent to the ICC. As of this writing, only seven of the 20 teams participating in the World Cup have officially announced their teams. BCB is taking time as there is no obligation to formally announce the squad.

Another big question arises. There are not even 30 days left for the curtain of the World Cup. But till now, the team management could not finalize who will play. Their lack of preparation is very evident. The issue of not trusting the players is also coming.

It is known that Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu, Abdur Razzak and Hannan Sarkar’s selection panel has given no surprises. Bangladesh will go to the World Cup with all the regular cricketers. Where Mahmudullah Riyad, Saif Uddin survived well. They are almost certain to get on a US plane.

Although there is a little doubt about Soumya Sarkar, the selectors have also kept her in the top 15 team. However, in the last two T20Is against Zimbabwe, he has to perform well in the fitness test as well.

One of the three openers in the first three T20 squad against Zimbabwe will be ruled out of the World Cup. Tanjid Hasan Tamim has been called up for the first T20 along with Liton Kumar Das. Besides, Parvez Hossain Emon has been returned to the Dhaka League for doing well. In order to keep Soumya in the World Cup team, either Tanjid or Eamon should be dropped. Afif Hossain is not in the World Cup team.

Bangladesh’s pace attack with Taskin, Shariful, Mostafiz and Tanjim. Saif Uddin is to increase their loan. Rishad Hossain and Sheikh Mahedi are two spinners with Shakib.

Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar are the openers in the team led by Nazmul Hossain Shanta. Besides Tawheed Hriday, Zaker Ali Anik, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah are there.

BCB sent this team to ICC. However, after the Zimbabwe series, there may be two changes in the World Cup team of Bangladesh.
