Najmul Hossain Shanto will lead a 15-member Bangladesh team when they host Pakistan for a two-Test series, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced on Sunday.
A new name in the ranks is wicketkeeper-batsman Amite Hasan, who received his first call-up to the national team after impressing on the domestic circuit. He has amassed 3650 runs in 49 First Class matches.
Additionally, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, who has been part of the Bangladesh white-ball team since 2023, was called up for the first time in the Test squad.
The first Test will begin on May 8 and the match will be held at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. The second Test will begin on May 16 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
The Bangla Tigers are currently facing New Zealand at home in a multi-format white-ball series and beat the Kiwis 2-1 in the ODIs.
