Here is your answer. But do we need a new thread for this?

The selection panel led by Faruque Ahmed called up two all-rounders Sakib Al Hasan and Forhad Reza into the senior side considering their impressive performances at different levels in the last two seasons.

Sakib is a solid left-handed batsman who also bowls useful left-arm spin while Forhad is a seam bowler and can bat in the middle-order.

The latter has been brought in, it seems, to fill the void left by all-rounder Khaled Mahmud.

"Both are genuine all-rounders and we believe that these two young cricketers would be effective in the shorter-version game. We are totally against bringing about massive changes but at the same time we didn't want to ignore young performers," said the chief selector.

"Sakib has already proved his ability in the under-19 and A teams, especially a very impressive performance during Bangladesh A's last tour in Zimbabwe while Forhad was always on our minds for his notable domestic record," he added.
