Bangladesh ODI squad for Sri Lanka announced: Litton Das recalled after Champions Trophy snub; Taskin, Mustafizur return
Bangladesh named their squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka on Monday, recalling several of their senior pros in the team for the One-Dayers. The series will begin on July 2. Litton Das, Bangladesh's T20I captain who was dropped from the Champions Trophy 2025 squad due to a long lean patch heading to the tournament, returned to the side. Along with Das, fast bowlers Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman have also been included in the 16-player squad after recovering from injuries. Shamim Hossain, Tanvir Islam, Hasan Mahmud and Mohammad Naim are also included in the squad. Chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain said it was important for senior batter Litton Das to be given the chance to earn his place back in the ODI side. 'Litton Das was in a bad patch but time is the best healer. He is the T20 captain, so we can consider him till the next T20 World Cup. If someone has to return to form, it is best to spend a long time in the middle. We feel that Litton can take his form from ODIs to T20Is,' said Ashraf. A total of five pacers are included in Bangladesh's squad, with Ashraf saying this was to help Taskin and Rahman return from injury smoothly. 'We have included five fast bowlers in the ODI side as we have Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed are returning from injuries. We are also mindful of Nahid Rana's workload management, so we have kept enough options to choose from,' he said. The opening two matches of the series will be held in Colombo on July 2 and July 5, with the series switching to Pallekele for the final match on July 8. Earlier, the One-Off Test between the sides ended in a draw after Bangladesh red-ball skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto scored centuries in both innings.

BD's key pacers to return for SL series
Bangladesh cricket team's three key fast bowlers Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam have recovered from injuries and are likely to return for the upcoming white-ball series against Sri Lanka. A Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official confirmed on Saturday that the trio will undergo final fitness assessments during two intra-squad practice matches scheduled for June 23 and 25 at the Bir Shrestha Shaheed Flight Lieutenant Motiur Rahman Cricket Stadium in Chattogram. The three fast bowlers, all recovering from recent injuries, were seen bowling at full pace during the team's preparation camp. While their return to competitive cricket looks promising, BCB's medical team remains cautious. "They have bowled at full intensity, but we have to be mindful that they are returning from injuries," a BCB medical department official said. "Their match fitness will be assessed during the practice games, and only then will we make a final decision regarding their participation in the Sri Lanka tour. At this moment, they have not reported any discomfort." Mustafizur missed the T20I series against Pakistan after suffering a thumb injury during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Taskin has been sidelined due to an ankle injury, while Shoriful was ruled out of the final T20I against Pakistan following a Grade one strain of the rectus femoris muscle in his right leg, as revealed by an MRI scan. Bangladesh's white-ball probables began their training camp on Saturday in Chattogram, focusing on building momentum ahead of the Sri Lanka tour. Following the two-match Test series, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will face off in a three-match ODI series starting next month, with the first two games scheduled to be played in Colombo and the final ODI in Pallekele. The tour will conclude with a three-match T20I series, to be played on July 10, 13 and 16 in Pallekele, Dambulla, and Colombo, respectively.

Bangladesh remain optimistic on fitness of Taskin Ahmed
Dhaka [Bangladesh], : Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed is expected to make his international cricket comeback during the team's multi-format tour of Sri Lanka in June, after having played his last international match during the ICC Champions Trophy in February, the ICC's official website reported. Bangladesh remain optimistic on fitness of Taskin Ahmed Bangladesh are confident that pace spearhead Taskin Ahmed will be fit to return to action for next month's ICC World Test Championship series in Sri Lanka.

While Taskin has been battling an Achilles tendon injury and missed Bangladesh's recent two-match Test series at home against Zimbabwe, there is internal optimism that the right-armer will be fit to return to action next month and feature against Sri Lanka. Taskin recently met with specialists in London to determine the next step in his recovery, and the 30-year-old was advised he would not need surgery to fix his troublesome area. While Bangladesh's upcoming white-ball series against UAE and Pakistan has been deemed too soon for Taskin, it is hoped he will be fit to return in time to take on Sri Lanka with the first Test between the two teams taking place from June 17 in Galle. "The specialists believe that a conservative, non-surgical approach is the best course of action for Taskin at this time," Bangladesh senior physician Debashish Chowdhury said via a statement as quoted by ICC. "The rehabilitation programme is tailored to gradually restore his fitness and manage the tendon condition effectively. We are optimistic about his progress." "Taskin is expected to regain match fitness by early June, pending successful completion of his rehabilitation," the statement concluded.
