Mashrafe Mortaza will captain the Bangladesh side in its ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 campaign, with Shakib Al Hasan named the vice-captain of the 15-man squad announced on Sunday (January 4).
The selectors have picked a squad with a blend of youth, experience and balance, with five specialist batsmen and six specialist bowlers backed by three allrounders and a wicketkeeper.
Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim will form the core of the side alongside Mortaza and Shakib, while among the younger lot, there were call-ups for Soumya Sarkar, the 21-year-old allrounder who has done well in domestic cricket this season, Taskin Ahmed, the 19-year-old fast bowler, and Taijul Islam, who had a sensational ODI debut against Zimbabwe where he picked up 4 for 11 to became the first bowler to take a hat-trick on ODI debut. Taskin too had an impressive start to his career when he bagged a five-wicket haul on debut during the second ODI against India in June.
