On the eve of the T20I series against Ireland last week in Chattogram, Litton Das vented his frustration over the squad selection carried out by the selectors. He publicly revealed that Shamim Hossain had been dropped without his knowledge, triggering widespread debate.

The selectors have added all-rounder Shamim Hossain to the Bangladesh squad for their third and final T20I against Ireland at the Bir Shrestha Shaheed Flight Lieutenant Motiur Rahman Stadium in Chattogram on Tuesday.

As Bangladesh take on Ireland in the first of three T20Is in Chattogram today -- their final international assignment before next year's ICC T20 World Cup -- a dispute between skipper Litton Das and chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu over the omission of Shamim Hossain has overshadowed the game and taken centre-stage.

Bangladesh skipper Litton Das has voiced strong frustration after Shamim Hossain was dropped from the squad for the first two T20Is of the three-match series against Ireland -- starting tomorrow in Chattogram -- without any prior communication from the selectors or the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).

Middle-order batter Shamim Hossain and pacer Taskin Ahmed have been left out as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced its squad for the three-match T20 International series against Ireland.

Litton Das did something uncharacteristic of a Bangladesh captain after his side’s defeat in the first T20I against the West Indies in Chattogram on Monday.

Beside showing lapses in batting temperament, Bangladesh batters in both matches gave Afghanistan repeated openings by burning reviews unnecessarily, exposing the side to avoidable risks.

Bangladesh all-rounder Shamim Hossain has expressed confidence in securing a series victory against hosts Sri Lanka following a commanding victory in the second T20I to level the three-match T20I series on Sunday in Dambulla.

“We need to learn from our mistakes.” This statement is the staple of Bangladesh players, uttered almost every time they lose a game.

Shamim Hossain’s brave innings went in vain as Chittagong Kings suffered a 37-run defeat against Khulna Tigers in their Bangladesh Premier League (BPL)  encounter at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium today.

A T20 specialist of sorts, Shamim’s blistering 35 off just 17 deliveries gave Bangladesh crucial momentum in the second T20I in St Kitts yesterday, earning him the Player of the Match award.

Pacer Ripon Mondol received a call-up and Shamim Hossain made a return as Bangladesh Cricket Board announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against the West Indies in Kingstown, St Vincent on 16, 18 and 20 December.

Bangladesh Cricket Board's High Performance (HP) team's scheduled tour of Ireland had been pushed to next year due to the host board's international commitments, while the ongoing financial crisis in Sri Lanka had seen the SLC unable to host Bangladesh HP this year as well.
