Dhaka: Bangladesh on Saturday announced the squad for the three-match T20I series in Pakistan beginning January 24. Opener Tamim Iqbal, who hasn’t played international cricket since last year’s World Cup, has returned to the T20I side. The left-handed batsman was supposed to return for the India tour in October but pulled out due to personal reasons. Meanwhile, 20-year-old pacer Hasan Mahmud has earned his maiden call-up with Rubel Hossain also making a comeback for the first leg of the three-part tour of Pakistan. Bangladesh is set to play three T20Is, two Tests and an ODI in Pakistan between January and April. IANS
