    Abdul Gaffar Earns Maiden Call-up For T20Is Against New Zealand

    By IANS News April 21, 2026 • 22:14 PM View: 234
    Mohammed Parvez Hossain Emon: Abdul Gaffar Saqlain received his first national call-up as the Bangladesh national cricket team announced a 15-member squad for the opening two T20Is against New Zealand. The selectors chose fresh players and considered workload management ahead of a busy international schedule.

    Saqlain’s selection as an uncapped pace-bowling all-rounder shows Bangladesh’s effort to improve their depth in T20 cricket. He is seen as a solid lower-order hitter and a capable seam bowler, meeting the team's need for a bowling all-rounder in this format.

    Joining him is right-arm fast bowler Ripon Mondal. His consistency, especially during crucial moments, earned him this opportunity. The 23-year-old has played three T20 matches for Bangladesh, all during the 2023 Asian Games, and now has a chance to secure a spot on the team.
