BCB president Nazmul Hassan has weighed in on Bangladesh's World Cup squad at the same time as he recognised that the ultimate name can be with chief selector Minhajul Abedin. Hassan spoke about all of the positions within the workforce, particularly the much-talked-about No. 7 spot. Bangladesh have just lately tended to select six bowlers and belief Mehidy Hasan Miraz to bat at No 7 place.

Hassan has been recognized over time for having a significant say in most selections in Bangladesh cricket. So when he speaks concerning the World Cup squad, it turns into an essential reference level even for the nationwide selectors.

Bangladesh are prone to finalise their squad for the World Cup, which is about to be performed in India in October-November 2023, once they play the Asia Cup, which is scheduled for September. ODI captain Tamim Iqbal, nevertheless, has advised that the workforce is unlikely to experiment with too many new faces even through the Afghanistan ODIs in July.

"There's no assure for anybody who will likely be within the squad that he'll play within the eleven. Afif and Mahmudullah could make it to the workforce for his or her batting. Yasir hasn't performed a lot after coming back from harm. Afif and Mosaddek are forward in bowling, and so is Mahmudullah. Afif is the higher fielder amongst them [followed by] Mosaddek after which [Mahmudullah] Riyad."

Hassan also felt there could be room in the squad for a back-up opener. Mohammad Naim and Anamul Haque Bijoy - who topped this season's Dhaka Premier League run charts - could be in contention for this spot.

"They may decide a back-up opener in case of an harm," Hassan said. "They are prone to decide three pacers so any three amongst Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Ebadot Hossain and Mustafizur [Rahman] will play. They are unlikely to play something lower than 5 bowlers within the World Cup. They could even take 4 pacers within the line-up. They will even want an additional spinner."

"I have not heard something from the ACC [Asian Cricket Council] relating to the Asia Cup. But it should happen," Hassan said. "It is difficult to say the place it will likely be. I do know that there are two choices. Firstly, it may be a hybrid mannequin, to be held in Pakistan and UAE. The second one is that it may very well be held in a single nation, almost definitely in Sri Lanka. They provided it to Bangladesh however we refused it as there will likely be rain on the time."
