Bangladesh has announced their squad for the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025, with Nazmul Hossain Shanto named captain. However, a major absentee is veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who has been suspended from bowling and was not included in the squad, despite being eligible to play as a batter. The squad will also miss Tamim Iqbal, who retired recently. Key players like Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah remain part of the team, and young talents such as Parvez Hossai Emon and Nahid Rana have been given their first ODI call-ups. Bangladesh’s opening match is against India on 20 February.
