Bangladesh cricket bosses have shaken up their T20 team for the Sri Lanka tour. Mohammad Naim makes his comeback after missing two years of international cricket. The opener last played against Afghanistan back in August 2022. Mohammad Saifuddin also returns to the squad after his absence since May 2024. Both players will join the pace attack and batting lineup for the three-match series.

Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto has been axed from the team after poor form. The skipper failed to score a fifty across his last 19 T20 matches. Soumya Sarkar, Tanvir Islam, and Hasan Mahmud have also lost their spots. The selectors wanted fresh faces for the important tour. These changes show the board wants better results from the national team.

Litton Kumer Das will lead the 16-man squad during the July tour. The team travels to Sri Lanka for matches across three different cities. Kandy, Dambulla, and Colombo will host the games from July 10 to 16. Naim has earned selection for both the T20 and ODI series. The cricket board hopes these squad changes will improve team performance against strong opposition.
