Mosaddek, Nurul Return As Bangladesh Announce Squad For First Two ODIs Against Australia
Mahidul Islam Ankon: Bangladesh have recalled middle‑order batter Mosaddek Hossain and wicketkeeper‑batter Nurul Hasan for the first two ODIs against Australia starting in Mirpur on June 9, with Mahidul Islam Ankon and Afif Hossain making way.
Mosaddek, 30, last played an ODI for Bangladesh in August 2022 but has forced his way back on the strength of a prolific Dhaka Premier League campaign. He has already scored a century and two fifties, averaging 89 in five matches, while also claiming 11 wickets at 16.27 with his off‑spin bowling.
Nurul, who missed the New Zealand series, returns to bolster the middle‑order as Mahidul and Afif didn’t live up to the desired expectations of the selectors. The duo’s recall comes at a time when Bangladesh’s batting has struggled in recent ODIs against Pakistan and New Zealand.
