Predicted Bangladesh Squad for ODI World Cup 2023
These 15 players could possibly make it to Bangladesh's squad for the 2023 World Cup to be held in India later this year.
7. Afif Hossain
Afif Hossain’s stature has raised in the Bangladesh squad as he has looked decent with his bat in ODIs recently. Back in 2020, he broke into Bangladesh’s One-Day squad in a three-match series against Zimbabwe. Since then, he has scored 542 runs in 22 innings of 25 ODIs at a strike rate of 88.13.
Before the World Cup, the Bangladesh team management will want Hossain to strengthen his batting and become an ideal finisher for his team. In February 2022, the left-handed batter notched up his best knock in ODIs (unbeaten 93 off 115) against Afghanistan in Chattogram.
In the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan, Hossain took his team to a four-wicket victory in the first One-Day with his impressive innings. The match is also famous among cricket fans for Hossain’s unbeaten 174-run partnership with Mehidy Hasan Miraz. His performances in ODIs indicate that the Bangla player could become a potential match-finisher for his team in the future.
