Chief selector Minhajul Abedin said they announced a relatively large squad as a precaution, with the series being held under strict health protocols.
"We took several extra players because we are facing a pandemic now. You cannot add a player to the squad anytime in this kind of situation," he said.
"Our three uncapped players Mahedi, Hasan, and Shoriful have all did well in domestic cricket recently. We included them because we thought it's also a time for us to look for the future," he added.
