Litton Das, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan, Hasan Mahmud and Najmul Hossain Shanto have been recalled to the side after they could not make it to the Asia Cup squad.

Soumya Sarkar and Shoriful Islam, a part of last year's squad during the 2021 T20 World Cup, could only make it to the standby list along with Rishad Hossain and Shak Mahedi Hasan.

The same team will be travelling to New Zealand for a tri-series between October 7 to 15, which will also involve Pakistan. ICC T20 World Cup 2022 will start from October 16 and will go on till November 13
