T20 World Cup 2026: Litton Das To Lead As Bangladesh Announce 15-Member Squad

Bangladesh Cricket Team has announced a strong T20 World Cup 2026 squad led by captain Litton Das.

Bangladesh has unveiled a potent squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, set to unfold across India and Sri Lanka in February-March. Led by the dynamic Litton Das, the Tigers are determined to shatter their historical ceiling, having participated in every edition since 2007 without advancing to the semi-finals.

The 15-member squad features a robust batting lineup anchored by captain Das, whose explosive opening knocks have often set the tone. Joining him at the top are Tanzid Hasan and Mohammad Parvez Hossain Emon, both bringing flair and aggression to counter early pressure.

In the middle order, Mohammed Saif Hassan, Md Tawhid Hridoy, and Md Shamim Hossain provide depth and versatility, capable of accelerating or stabilizing innings. Wicketkeeper Quazi Nurul Hasan Sohan adds finishing prowess and sharp glovework.
