Bangladesh who recently deflated Australia 4-1 in a home series, backed it up with another triumph in the ongoing T20Is against New Zealand. The selectors have opted to retain the core side of the same squad that is featuring against the Kiwis while dropping four players from it.

Mosaddek Hossein, Taijul Islam and Aminul Islam were left out while Rubel Hossain was moved in as a reserve for the marquee event.

Bangladesh will also be without the services of Tamim Iqbal who opted out of the tournament after missing out on several matches in the format.
