Dhaka [Bangladesh], April 27 (ANI): The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Sunday announced their 15-player squad for their first Test against Pakistan, scheduled to start on May 8 at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla Stadium as part of the 2025-27 ICC World Test Championship cycle.
Najmul Hossain Shanto continues as skipper, while Mehidy Hasan Miraz serves as his deputy for the Test against Pakistan, as per the ICC website.
Two uncapped players, Tanzid Hasan and Amite Hasan, make the squad. Tanzid Hassan has established himself in the white-ball setup, playing 34 ODIs and 45 T20Is for his nation, while scoring more than 1900 runs across both formats.

Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam return to the Test side, having last featured in late 2024, while tweaker Naeem Hasan makes his return to the red-ball setup.
