Nurul Hasan to replace Shakib Al Hasan as Bangladesh captain for UAE T20Is

There is also a return for Soumya Sarkar, who played the last of his 66 T20I games at home against Australia last year. Left-arm fast Shoriful Islam was also included in the squad.

Bangladesh will depart for Dubai on Thursday for two T20I matches and some training sessions. The tour was hastily organised last week as they were unable to hold a practice match in Dhaka due to heavy rain. Bangladesh will return on September 28 before heading to New Zealand for the T20I Triple Series next month a few days later.
