Bangladesh recall Liton, drop Kayes

Dhaka, July 3: Bangladesh have recalled wicketkeeper-batsman Liton Das for the three-match One-day International (ODI) series against the West Indies while dropping opener Imrul Kayes along with a few other key players.

Also missing from that squad are all-rounder Nasir Hossain, Abul Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Mohammad Mithun and Sunzamul Islam with the national selectors choosing to bring in almost like-for-like replacements in Mosaddek Hossain, Nazmul Hossain, Nazmul Islam, Abu Hider and Abu Jayed.

The Bangladeshis also recalled paceman Mustafizur Rahman to the national set-up while retaining flamboyant batsmen Sabbir Rahman and Anamul Haque.

The ODI series will begin on July 22 soon after the culmination of the two-Test series. IANS
