Mrittunjoy is a left-arm fast bowler who has impressed in domestic white-ball tournaments for the past two seasons. He has 12 wickets in eight matches in the ongoing Dhaka Premier League, Bangladesh’s domestic List A league, after 17 in the previous season. He has also been quite good in the last two seasons of the Bangladesh Premier League, taking 15 and 8 wickets respectively. Mrittunjoy also netted several times for the Bangladesh national team during the domestic season.
Tamim Iqbal will continue to lead the team, with Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das also headliners in the batting department. The impressive Towhid Hridoy remains in the squad, alongside Najmul Hossain Shanto and Yasir Ali. Rony Talukdar is the backup opener after his remarkable recall in the senior team saw him do quite well in the T20Is, although he has yet to make his ODI debut.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz offers a spin bowling option alongside Shakib and Taijul, while Ebadot Hossain, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman and Hasan Mahmud sit alongside Mrittunjoy in the pace division.
This, if Ireland – currently ranked 11th – manages to beat Bangladesh 3-0, they could climb straight to eighth place at the expense of South Africa if they have a better net run rate (NRR). While both teams would then have finished on 98 points each, the first tie-breaker would be the number of wins; that would also be nine if Ireland won all three ODIs against Bangladesh, and so NRR would come into play.
Bangladesh Squad: Tamim Iqbal (Captain), Litton Das, Rony Talukdar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Yasir Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Ebadot Hossain, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury
