Aliss Al Islam, popularly known as a mystery spinner, has received his maiden call-up to Bangladesh’s ODI squad for the upcoming tri-nation series in the United Arab Emirates, involving Afghanistan and Zimbabwe.
His inclusion for the first time in an ODI squad was confirmed today when the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced a 16-member squad through a press release. Towhid Hridoy has been named vice-captain for the tournament.
