Bangladesh nearly have a full-strength team with the return of Shakib Al Hasan foi the short tour while the pace attack toe received a boost with the return of Shafiu Islam, with only Rubel Hossain left tc recover from a shoulder surgery. Skippei Mushfiqur Rahim and coach Richard Pybuj seem to be happy with letting Mohammac Ashraful open the innings with Tamim Iqbal while it is also likely that Shakib and the captain himself would bat up the order tc take most of the overs in the 20-over format.

Under-19s left-arm spinner Gary Kidd took two wickets while the two Thompsons - Stuart and Johnny - and Andrew White picked up a wicket apiece.
