Mashrafe Mortaza has lost his race to be fit for the World Cup after being left out of Bangladesh's squad. Mortaza injured his right knee playing club cricket in Dhaka in December and in his absence Shakib Al Hasan will lead the side.
It is frustrating for Bangladesh but they have enjoyed a string of good results under Shakib recently, including beating New Zealand 4-0 last October and Zimbabwe 3-1 in their most recent outing last December. Tamim Iqbal was confirmed as vice-captain of the side that could spring a surprise in familiar conditions at the World Cup in February.
Squad Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Zunaed Siddique, Shahriar Nafees Ahmed, Roqibul Hassan, Mohammad Ashraful, Mushfiqur Rahim, Naeem Islam, Mahmudullah, Abdur Razzak, Rubel Hossain, Shafiul Islam, Nazmul Hossain, Md. Sohrawordi.
