Coach Javier Cabrera announced the roster ahead of Monday's practice sessions in Dhaka. The squad features key additions Hamza Choudhury and Shamit Shome arriving October 6 and 7 respectively. Italy-based forward Fahamidul Islam received selection among the attacking options.
The national team will face Hong Kong twice during October with the first match scheduled for October 9 at home. A return fixture follows five days later on October 14 away from Bangladesh. Recent qualifying performances have produced mixed results with a goalless draw against India in Shillong and a 2-1 defeat to Singapore on home soil.
