Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) yesterday announced a 14-member National Cricket Academy squad for next month's Pakistan tour.

Mehrab Hossain has been rewarded for his recent impressive performance with the Bangladesh A team as the left-hander was named captain for the trip.

The Academy side, which is scheduled to leave for Pakistan on August 15, will play two four-day and three one-day matches against their Pakistan counterparts during the tour.

Former national skipper Khaled Mahmud will accompany the team as manager operations while Australian Allister de Winter the coach.

Mehrab Hossain (captain), Nazmus Sadat, Zahirul Islam, Uttam Sarker, Marshall Ayub, Nadif Chowdhury, Sahagir Hossain, Mahmudullah Riyadh, Musharraf Rubel, Suhrawardy Shuvo, Ziaur Rahman, Shafaq Al Jabir, Dollar Mahmud and Nazmul Hossain.

Sarkar, Nazgul and Dollar. Couldn't get better.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

No, it gets better:

There was no surprise as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) named the probables for the ICC Champions Trophy to be held in October-November in India.

The 30-member preliminary squad had all the old guards and included six uncapped players: batsmen Mehrab Hossain Jr, Nazmus Sadat and Mahbub Ullah Riyad, wicketkeeper Sahagir Hossain, left-arm spinner Nadif Chowdhury and left-arm fast bowler Shafaq Al Jabir.

"We considered two things before the selection. One was obviously the regular players of the team and the other were the ones who have the prospect to be considered in the future," said chief selector Faruque Ahmed on Wednesday.

"Yes, there were few more players like opener Uttam Sarker who could have been in the list but we thought about those players who had represented different national and age-group selections in the recent past and proved their worth," he added.

The former national skipper said that they were still crying for a young prospect with off-spin all-round aspect but there were none to catch their eyes.

“That is why we have recalled veteran Jamaluddin Babu.”

Under the new format Bangladesh will play the preliminary round of the second biggest cricket extravaganza after the World Cup along with Sri Lanka, West Indies and Zimbabwe in October.

The Probables:

Habibul Bashar, Tushar Imran, Khaled Mashud, Sakib Al Hasan, Mohammad Rafique, Tapash Baisya, Javed Omer, Nafees Iqbal, Rajin Saleh, Enamul Haque, Mohammad Ashraful, Hasibul Hossain, Aftab Ahmed, Nazmul Hossain, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, Mehrab Hossain, Shahriar Nafees, Nazmus Sadat, Abdur Razzak, Mahbub Ullah Riyad, Syed Rasel, Manjarul Islam, Shahadat Hossain, Jamaluddin Babu, Alok Kapali, Sahagir Hossain, Farhad Reza, Nadif Chowdhury, Mushfiqur Rahim and Shafaq Al Jabir.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Mehrab Hossain (captain), Nazmus Sadat, Zahirul Islam, Uttam Sarker, Marshall Ayub, Nadif Chowdhury, Sahagir Hossain, Mahmudullah Riyadh, Musharraf Rubel, Suhrawardy Shuvo, Ziaur Rahman, Shafaq Al Jabir, Dollar Mahmud and Nazmul Hossain.

Possible XI:

1 Jahurul Islam
2 Uttam Sarkar
3 Nazmus Sadat
4 Mehrab Hossain jnr
5 Mahmudullah
6 Saghir Hossain
7 Nadif Chowdhury
8 Suhrawadi Shuvo
9 Mosharraf Hossain
10 Shafaq Al Zabir
11 Nazmul Hossain

I think I do that just because I enjoy typing out the numbers.

Or maybe because I'm obsessed with irrelevant cricket.

Uttam

You know Steds, when I thought of Uttam, I thought of you...

Not sure whether that's Imran or Saeed bin Nasir for Pakistan, can't recall anyone called Fawad.

Fawad Alam.

I think it's Nasir Jamshed, too, assuming it's the same Pakistan Academy side that trounced Nepal a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Thanks. Didn't know what sort of Pakistan side was being put out. Making 340 against a side that included Mohammad Irshad, even if he did take five wickets, is a pretty good effort for this lot though. Jahurul's innings lasted over six hours, so maybe he's one to keep an eye on as a solid Test opener.

 

[steds]

Oi, Jumble. Where do you keep up with this?
