Litton Das returns to lead Bangladesh in West Indies T20Is

Bangladesh T20I skipper Litton Das has returned to the squad after recovering from a side strain, with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) naming a 15-member squad for the first two T20Is of the three-match series against West Indies in Chattogram, starting October 27.

Litton had sustained the injury ahead of the Asia Cup clash against India and was subsequently ruled out of the remainder of the tournament, as well as the white-ball series against Afghanistan and the ongoing ODIs against West Indies.

The right-hander resumed batting at the indoor facility of the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Wednesday (October 22) and came through the session without discomfort, paving the way for his return. All-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin, who featured in the Asia Cup and the Afghanistan T20Is, has been left out of the squad.

All three T20Is will be played at the Bir Shrestha Shaheed Flight Lieutenant Motiur Rahman Stadium in Chattogram on October 27, 29 and 31.

Bangladesh T20I squad: Litton Kumer Das (captain), Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Saif Hassan, Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali Anik, Shamim Hossain, Quazi Nurul Hasan Sohan, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Taskin Ahmed, and Shoriful Islam.
