5. Shakib Al Hasan
With Tamim Iqbal not participating in the Asia Cup 2023, Shakib Al Hasan will don the captaincy hat again for Bangladesh for the upcoming marquee events 2023 Asia Cup and 2023 World Cup. Hasan has played a lot of cricket in his 17-year career and he has the calibre to help Bangladesh clinch the maiden Asia Cup title.
The veteran has served Bangladesh excellently as an all-rounder in ODIs. With the ball, he is the highest wicket-taker for his team with 305 wickets in 235 matches at an economy of 4.44. While as a batter, he is the third-most successful player, racking up 7211 runs with nine tons and 53 fifties.
Hasan will be expected to lead Bangladesh from the front and make a massive contribution to the team in the competition with his all-round talent. The 36-year-old was the most efficient player for Bangladesh in the ODI series played against England in Match this year. Playing all three games, he notched up 141 runs and six wickets.
