Nasir finally named in Tigers' squad

Following widespread criticism after Bangladesh's first ODI series match loss to England, all-rounder Nasir Hossain has been included into the 14-member squad of the hosts.

The Tigers meet the visitors in the day-night entcounter, the second one-day international (ODI) of the three-match series, at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Sunday.

Nasir’s inclusion into the side raises hopes of his comeback to the 11-man team.
Nasir may replace spinner Mosharraf Hossain who displayed horrifying performance in fielding and bowling when England attained a nail-biting victory leading the series 1-0.

The 25-year-old Nasir played 56 ODIs and scored 1231 runs. In his ODI career, Nasir featured one century and six fifties.
The right-hander also bagged 19 wickets in 45 innings of 56 matches. His ODI best figure is 3/26.
