Bangladesh have recalled former captain Mohammad Ashraful [ Images ] to their 15-man squad for the upcoming World Twenty20 [ Images ] championship in West Indies [ Images ], the country's cricket board said on Tuesday.
Ashraful failed to register a half-century in his last 13 international innings and skipped the recent one-day series against England [ Images ], instead opting to try to regain form in domestic first-class matches.
However, a string of low scores in domestic cricket and in a warm-up game against the tourists cost him his place in the Test squad as well.
Left-arm pacer Syed Rasel also returned to the side after missing out on the New Zealand [ Images ] tour and England series, while left-arm spinner Mohammad Sohrawordi and batsman Jahirul Islam retained their places in the Twenty20 squad.
Bangladesh will play against defending champions Pakistan and unseeded Australia [ Images ] in Group A of the ICC [ Images ] World Twenty20.
Squad:
Shakib Al Hasan (captain), Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Jahirul Islam, Mohammad Ashraful, Aftab Ahmed, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim, Naeem Islam, Mashrafe Mortaza [ Images ], Abdur Razzak, Shafiul Islam, Rubel Hossain, Syed Rasel and Mohammad Sohrawordi.
