Leg-spinner Rishad Hossain makes his debut in international cricket as Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first in the third and final Twenty20 against Ireland at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Friday.
Rishad becomes only the third leg-spinner to play in the T20 format for Bangladesh after Jubair Hossain and Aminul Islam Biplob.
Rishad came in place of Mehidy Hasan Miraz while left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam has been brought in in place of Mustafizur Rahman.
Bangladesh are already 2-0 up in the series and a win today, Friday, will seal a successive T20 series win for the Tigers.
Bangladesh had earlier clean swept World Champions England 3-0 at home earlier this month.
With the series already gone, the Irish team is playing for pride. They have made on change, dropping pacer Graham Hume for left-arm spinner Matt Humphreys.
