DHAKA: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has retained an unchanged squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Pakistan, which is set to begin on July 20 at the Shere-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Dhaka.
The decision follows Bangladesh’s recent 2-1 T20I series win over Sri Lanka, with the board emphasizing stability ahead of the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup.
“Unless necessary, we aim for consistency and want to avoid unnecessary experimentation,” said Najmul Abedeen Fahim, Chairman of Cricket Operations at BCB. “Stability is key moving forward.”

- Hasan Ali, currently playing for Birmingham Bears in the Men’s Vitality Blast.
