All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan returns to the One-Day International team as the Bangladesh Cricket Board names. A 16-man squad for the forthcoming three-match 50-over series against India, which begins on December 4 at home. Shakib did not travel to Zimbabwe, where Bangladesh last played an ODI series, due to personal concerns.
Yasir Ali returned to the 50-over squad for the series, while bowler Ebadot Hossain kept his spot after impressing the selectors in the lone ODI he played against Zimbabwe. Ebadot was a late addition to the ODI series against Zimbabwe after being overlook originally. He returned the team’s trust in him by taking two wickets in his maiden game. Mohammad Naim, who made a late entrance with Ebadot, did not have the same fate, as he was not consider for the India series.
