The selectors announced the team on Saturday morning (August 12).

The big question the selectors faced in picking the Asia Cup squad was about the veteran Mahmudullah. He last played ODIs against England in March this year. He missed the ODI series against Ireland and the one against Afghanistan in July, with the selectors saying in March that he was being "rested". Mahmudullah however continues to be out of contention with the team management, as the likes of Shamim, Afif Hossain and Mahedi were considered ahead of him.

Meanwhile, Shamim Hossain, yet to make his ODI debut, got a nod. Also, Mahedi Hasan, who last played an ODI for Bangladesh back in 2021, returns to the side alongside spinner Nasum Ahmed. Nasum last played an ODI during the Ireland series at home in March this year.

The faces in the pace department stay the same for the Tigers with Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Ebadot Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, and Hasan Mahmud all included in the squad.
