Mohammad Rizwan and left-handed batsman Sami Aslam, the Under-19 captain from the 2014 World Cup. Rizwan had been in contention for the ODI squad for some time but this is the first time he has been picked.
They left out an out-of-form Nasir Jamshed after he played three matches in the World Cup, making scores of 4, 1 and 0. He last scored an ODI fifty in July 2013. The selectors went for Asad Shafiq instead, who last played in the ODIs against New Zealand in the UAE in December. Shafiq has scored three fifties and a hundred this year in domestic one-dayers in Pakistan.
From the Test squad that played against New Zealand in the UAE last year, Ehsan Adil, Imran Khan, Mohammad Talha, Shan Masood and Taufeeq Umar were left out, making way for uncapped batsmen Sami Aslam and Babar Azam.
The T20 squad from the same tour left out Anwar Ali, Awais Zia, Raza Hasan to bring in Sohaib Maqsood, Rizwan and uncapped batsman Mukhtar Ahmed, who has played only five domestic T20s. The 22-year-old batsman has scored two fifties and a hundred this year in one-day matches for State Bank of Pakistan, who won the President’s Gold Cup in February. He has a hundred in domestic T20s and a strike rate of 161.15.
Fast bowler Mohammad Irfan, who was injured during the World Cup, was not part of any of the squads.
Pakistan will play two Tests, three One-day Internationals and a Twenty20 on the Bangladesh tour, with the first one-dayer starting on April 17.
