Afif-Sohan excluded from squad for T20Is against Ireland

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced its 14-member squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Ireland in Sylhet on March 23.

All-rounder Afif Hossain and wicket keeper-batter Nurul Hasan Sohan have been removed from the side while BCB included two uncapped players--leg spinner Rishad Hossain and wicketkeeper-batter Jaker Ali Anik--in the squad.

"We made the change because a 16-member team is not required for only one match. He added that the two players are expected to participate in the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League," said Chief selector Minhajul Abedin.
