BAN vs IND | Tamim Iqbal to lead Bangladesh as Shakib Al Hasan makes comeback to ODI squad

Shakib's return to the team has come at the cost of Taijul Islam despite his positive performances of late, considering Bangladesh already have a backup left-arm spinner in Nasum Ahmed. Ali, meanwhile, is a direct replacement for the out-of-form Mossaddek Hossain who could only tally 18 runs in four World T20 games even though he has scored a List-A half-century since in the domestic circuit. Ali made his ODI debut earlier in the year and across his four innings, managed an impressive fifty against the Proteas in Centurion. 

Youngster Shoriful Islam has also failed to cement his place in the team and has given way to the recent debutant Ebadot Hossain. Even though Shoriful has a decent average of 29.68 after 14 ODIs, he struggled against Zimbabwe recently, conceding at an economy of 7.58 across two games while scalping just one wicket in his 17.4 overs. Ebadot had thus replaced him in the third encounter and on his debut, impressed with figures of 38/2 at an economy below five.
