Asia Cup 2023: Bangladesh's Strongest XI
Bangladesh named a 17-member squad for the forthcoming continental tournament
7. Afif Hossain
Afif Hossain will play the role of a finisher in the squad. Batting down the order, Afif has the potential to deliver match-finishing innings to his side. This year, he showed up in six ODIs and scored only 51 runs in five innings at a dismal average of 10.20. However, the 23-year-old has the capability to turn things around.
The year 2022 was magnificent for this Bangla player. Appearing in 15 ODIs, he amassed 349 runs in 12 innings at an average of 38.77. He also scored three fifties in the calendar year. In February 2022, he played a notable unbeaten knock of 93 off 115 against Afghanistan in Chattogram.
Along with Mehidy Hasan Miraz, he stitched an unbeaten 174-run partnership for the seventh wicket and helped his side pull off the game with four wickets in hand. In the Asia Cup 2023, the youngster will be expected to do wonders with his bat and win games for Bangladesh against big teams.
