DHAKA: Bangladesh speedster Nahid Rana has been recalled to the T20 squad for a three-match home series against Australia after a nearly year-long absence, selectors announced Thursday.
The 23-year-old Rana, who played his only T20 international against the UAE in May 2025, has been impressive in other formats and starred in the team’s one-day international win over Australia in the ongoing series.
“Nahid Rana is ready to play all three formats,” chief selector Habibul Bashar told reporters.
“It’s very difficult to leave him out. He is a champion bowler. Whenever we leave him out of a format, the main reason is workload management.”
Veteran pace bowlers Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman were also recalled to the T20 side in place of the injured Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Ripon Mondol.
