Bangladesh on Tuesday named their squad, led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, for the ICC T20 World Cup next month.
After registering a 4-1 win over Zimbabwe in the recent T20I home series, Bangladesh confirmed their 15-member squad for the elusive event.
Veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who made a comeback in T20I cricket after a gap of almost a year in the series against Zimbabwe, is also part of the squad.
Pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib also secured a sport after two matches against Zimbabwe.
Bangladesh are placed in Group D alongside South Africa, Sri Lanka, Netherlands and Nepal, with their opening match against Sri Lanka in Dallas on June 7.
All teams can make changes to their squad until May 25, after which any alteration will require approval from ICC's Event Technical Committee.
