Bangladesh Include Soumya Sarkar, Mahidul Islam Ankon For West Indies ODIs
Naim and Rana featured in the third ODI against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi, where Bangladesh slumped to a 200-run defeat, losing the series 3–0. Naim struggled for 23 balls before edging to slip, while Rana went wicketless and failed to finish his final over amid concerns over a possible injury.
Soumya returns to the ODI fold after last featuring in February. He missed the recent T20I series against Afghanistan due to visa issues that delayed his travel to the UAE.
Uncapped in ODIs, wicketkeeper-batter Mahidul made his international debut in the Chattogram Test against South Africa last year. The 26-year-old has been in strong domestic form, averaging 46.86 in the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League with one century and ten fifties.
Litton Das is set to miss the ODI series after scans confirmed a side strain sustained during the Asia Cup. The team management has decided to rest the T20I captain as a precaution to avoid aggravating the injury.
Selectors have retained faith in Najmul Hossain Shanto, Jaker Ali, and Shamim Hossain, despite their poor recent outings. The spin unit remains unchanged, led by Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Rishad Hossain, while the pace attack continues to feature Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed.
