Pace bowling all-rounder Farhad Reza is the only change in the Bangladesh Cricket Board XI squad that will tour West Indies later this month to play Trinidad and Tobago. The 26-year-old Rajshahi medium-pacer has replaced http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nazmul-Hossain-c78993 in the team.
Bangladesh Cricket Board’s chairman of selectors, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Akram-Khan-c42577 said that Farhad's ability to bat down the order has earned him selectors’ nod for the marquee tournament.
"We said ahead of the Zimbabwe tour [in June] that 90% of the team would be the same," Akram told ESPNcricinfo on Thursday. "We made one change to the squad that toured Europe by bringing in Farhad [Reza] in place of Nazmul [Hossain]. Farhad gives us a batting
option down the order apart along with his role as a seamer," he added further.
The Bengali Tigers toured Zimbabwe in June followed by a trip to Europe in July. The two itineraries saw them playing ten T20 matches against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Scotland-c756, giving the BCB selectors ample opportunity to assess
the players before finalizing squad for the esteemed tournament.

closely with former Pakistan spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saqlain-Mushtaq-c88743, who has been snapped up by the BCB as the spin-bowling consultant for four months.
Bangladesh have been drafted in Group D, alongside Pakistan and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 at the same
