World Cup 2023: Predicted Bangladesh XI for tournament
These 11 players might form a perfect Bangladesh XI for the upcoming 2023 World Cup to be held in India.
5. Shakib Al Hasan
Shakib Al Hasan will be a vital cog for the Bangla side in this year’s World Cup campaign due to his all-round services. The 36-year-old has played a crucial role in Bangladesh’s development in the ODI format. Since his ODI debut in 2006, he has played five ODI World Cups for Bangladesh.
Currently, he is the most-successful Bangladesh player in World Cups, not just with his bat but also with the ball. Representing his team in 29 ODIs during the World Cup stage, Shakib has piled up 1146 runs with a couple of tons and 10 fifties. While in the bowling department, the veteran has picked up 34 wickets at an economy of 5.11.
In the last World Cup edition, he was the most effective batter for Bangladesh, accumulating 606 runs with two centuries and five fifties in eight ODIs at a strike rate of 96.03. Along with his bat, Shakib put up a decent show with the ball as well, scalping eight heads at an economy of 5.39.
