Bangladesh has named an unchanged 15-man ODI squad for the first two ODIs against New Zealand, keeping the group that beat Pakistan 2-1 last month. Mehidy Hasan Miraz will captain the side, and the series begins on April 17 in Dhaka, with the second ODI on April 20 and the third on April 23 in Chattogram.[1][3]
What’s new
The main headline is continuity: the selectors kept the same core rather than making changes after the Pakistan series win. Bangladesh’s pace attack again includes Nahid Rana, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, and Shoriful Islam.[5][1]
Five squad members are currently playing in the PSL — Nahid Rana, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Rishad Hossain, and Tanzid Hasan — and were expected to link up with the national team shortly before the series.[4][1]
Series context
This ODI series is part of New Zealand’s white-ball tour of Bangladesh, which also includes a three-match T20I series after the ODIs. Bangladesh’s decision to retain the squad suggests the management is prioritizing stability and momentum after the recent Pakistan result.[2][6][4]
Practical takeaway
If you’re following for selection news, there is no major surprise omission or debut call-up in the Bangladesh ODI squad for New Zealand — it is essentially a “same team, same plan” approach.[3][1]
