Bangladesh ICC World Cup Team Players 2023
Bangladesh has qualified for the cricket world cup 2023. We can safely say that this is one of the best times for cricket in Bangladesh. They used to struggle even to qualify. However, now they have qualified by default. Kudos to the team for coming this far.
It is also evidence of the fact that if you put resources in a team, it can jump from being a minow to a might in the matter of decades.
But is the ICC ready for that debate?
Let’s see the players who made it possible, which is our probable squad for the world cup
| Squad Members | Main Role |
|---|---|
| Shakib Al Hasan (c) | All-Rounder |
| Mushfiqur Rahim | Batsman/Wicketkeeper |
| Litton Das (vc) | Batsman/Wicketkeeper |
| Najmul Hossain Shanto | Batsman |
| Towhid Hridoy | Batsman |
| Mehidy Hasan Miraz | All-Rounder |
| Taskin Ahmed | Bowler |
| Mustafizur Rahman | Bowler |
| Hasan Mahmud | Bowler |
| Shoriful Islam | Bowler |
| Nasum Ahmed | Bowler |
| Mahedi Hasan | All-Rounder |
| Tanzid Hasan | Batsman |
| Tanzim Hasan | Bowler |
| Mahmudullah | All-Rounder |
Team analysis
The team looks pretty balanced. There are a lot of All-rounders and pacers. The All-rounders give them a lot of room to wriggle. Mehdi Hasan will be an excellent addition to the team
.His performance against India was fabulous. He played an instrumental role in their win against India in the series. Mehdi was named Man of the Series for this performance. The left-arm Fast bowler like Mustafizur and the Right-hand fast bowler Taskin can be crucial for taking wickets in the early overs.
Shakib needs no introduction, while their batsman and captain, Litton das, will be the player to look out for. Experienced batsmen like Mushfiqur can be the backbone of the middle order in case of an unfortunate collapse.
It would have been great if Tamim was in the squad as well. The drama of him getting back in the squad, taking back the retirement, and BCB not selecting him because of injuries is confusing.
Strengths and Weaknesses
There are a lot of players in the Bangladesh team to watch out for. The man that other teams have to worry about is Shakib. Am I right? Well, I am going to give a bold call here. Shakib is a great player, and every team will prepare for him. But there is another dark horse that may surprise us all.
We can’t call Mehdi a surprise here. He has been showing his class and performance in recent matches. Especially on turning wickets, he will be a nightmare for the batters. He can be called as a replacement for Shakib.
Mustafizur has always been a talented bowler since his debut. His seam and swing always posed a threat to the opposition.
But there were the strengths. Let’s talk about the weaknesses. One good thing that happened to Bangladesh was the return of Litton Das. With him in the squad, their batting looks much better. However, Tamim’s absence is a problem.
Shakib had a lot to say about him not playing in the team, and that has exposed the environment of the Bangladeshi dressing room. It can be counted as a weakness if the team isn’t gelled. It is a team sport at the end of the day.
