The Bangladesh U17 cricket team is gearing up for an exciting Sri Lanka tour, where they will face the Sri Lanka U17 team in three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and two three-day first-class matches. Scheduled to arrive in Sri Lanka on November 21, the junior Tigers aim to replicate the success achieved by the U16 team during their recent India tour.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced a 16-member squad for the tour, blending talented batsmen, pacers, and leg spinners. The team is set to play ODIs on November 24, 26, and 28, followed by two three-day matches beginning on December 1 and December 6. The team will conclude their tour and return home on December 9.

The batting lineup includes promising talents like Ferdos Kabir, Abdullah Al Muhi, Farhan Sadik, and Redoy Hossain. The pace department will be led by Md Maheenujjaman Mahbeer, Sheikh Atikur Rahaman Akash, and Mohammad Al Amin Hossen.

A standout feature of the squad is its focus on leg-spin bowling, with two specialist leg spinners, Mahir Ishmam Chowdhury and Imran Hossain, included. Additionally, Rakibul Hossan, a versatile all-rounder, brings batting strength along with leg-spin capabilities.

The wicketkeeping duties will be handled by Abdullah Al Muhi and Sourav Karmokar, ensuring depth in this crucial area. Four players have been named as standbys, ready to step in if needed.
