The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced the squad for the third and final T20 International of the ongoing series, confirming that no changes will be made to the side that featured in the previous matches.
Bangladesh, who came into the series buoyed by victories in four consecutive T20I series, have found themselves under pressure after losing the last two matches. The back-to-back defeats have ended their impressive winning streak and raised concerns over the possibility of a whitewash.
BCB Retain Faith in Current Squad
In a statement issued on Thursday, the BCB confirmed that the selection committee had decided to retain the same 15-member squad for the final encounter. The board had originally announced squads for the first two matches even before the conclusion of the preceding ODI series, reflecting a consistent selection strategy.
“The selectors believe the current squad has the ability to bounce back strongly. No changes have been made for the third T20I,” the BCB said in its release.
Final Match Details
The third and final T20I will be played on Friday at the Bir Shreshtho Shaheed Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium — the same venue that hosted the first two matches. The game offers Bangladesh a final chance to avoid a clean sweep and restore pride before turning their attention to upcoming international commitments.
