Tanzid, Amite Earn Maiden Call-ups As Bangladesh Announce Squad For 1st Test Against Pakistan
Bangla National Cricket Stadium: Bangladesh have unveiled a 15-member squad for the opening Test against Pakistan, with uncapped batters Tanzid Tamim and Amite Hasan earning maiden call-ups in the longest format as the selectors continue to invest in emerging red-ball talent.
Najmul Hossain Shanto will continue to lead the side, with all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz appointed as his deputy as Bangladesh aim to begin the home series on a strong note. The two-match series begins on May 8 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, before moving to Sylhet for the second Test from May 16. Both fixtures form part of the 2025–27 ICC World Test Championship cycle.
The inclusion of Tanzid and Amite forms the central narrative of the squad announcement. Tanzid, a left-handed opener who has already featured in Bangladesh’s limited-overs setup, has been rewarded for his steady returns in first-class cricket. The 25-year-old has amassed 1,792 runs in 25 matches at an average of 40, numbers that underline his readiness for the step up.
