Asia Cup 2023: Bangladesh's Strongest XI
Bangladesh named a 17-member squad for the forthcoming continental tournament
9. Taskin Ahmed
Taskin Ahmed will bolster Bangladesh’s pace attack in the upcoming competition. Riding on his spectacular bowling skills, the Bangla side registered their maiden ODI series victory in South Africa in 2022. Grabbing eight wickets in three ODIs, he ended up as the leading wicket-taker in the series.
Taskin is the most experienced bowler in the squad and noting that, his team will want him to step up and play attacking cricket in the Asia Cup. He has put up a brilliant show with the ball this year as he has fetched 12 wickets in six innings of seven ODIs at a thrifty economy of 3.71.
The Bangla paceman has played a lot of cricket against Asian sides such as India and Afghanistan. As this year’s Asia Cup will be played in Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the 28-year-old will look to take advantage of familiar sub-continent conditions as well. Taskin’s bowling numbers are fabulous in Sri Lanka as he has played three games in the island nation and has scalped six wickets.
