Bangladesh Cricket Board retained its complete 16-member roster for the Pakistan Twenty20 International series beginning July 20 at Mirpur. Selectors maintained the identical lineup that achieved the historic Sri Lanka series victory. Wicketkeeper-batter Nurul Hasan Sohan received no selection despite exceptional recent performances across multiple competitions.
The 31-year-old demonstrated remarkable consistency throughout this season's Dhaka Premier League campaign for Dhanmondi Club. Sohan accumulated 512 runs across 11 innings with two centuries and two half-centuries while maintaining a 58-run average. His strike rate reached 93.54 during the tournament after compiling 495 runs the previous season. Against New Zealand A, he registered a century in four-day competition and struck 112 runs during one-day action.
Sohan currently captains Rangpur Riders through the Global Super League tournament toward the championship match. His leadership guided the franchise to the final while contributing significantly with both batting and tactical decisions. The selection committee nevertheless chose continuity over form when finalizing the squad composition.
