Star pacer Jahanara Alam failed to make the cut as Bangladesh Cricket Board announced a 16-member squad for the three-match Twenty20 international series against visitors India.
All-rounder Salma Khatun, the leading wicket-taker of Bangladesh in T20Is, returned to the team along with Marufa Akter and Dilara Akter.
Salma was rested for the Sri Lanka series as Bangladesh wanted to expand their pool of players by giving youngsters some game time.
Jahanara, the fourth highest wicket-taker for Bangladesh in the shortest format, featured in just one of the three T20Is in Sri Lanka.
She, along with another senior player Rumana Ahmed were not even in the preliminary squad for the India series.
Batter Shathi Rani was rewarded for her excellent performance in the recently concluded Women's Dhaka Premier League.
Shathi was instrumental in helping Rupali Bank Krira Parishad win the WPDL, scoring 254 runs in six innings at an average of 50.8 and a strike-rate of 151.19.
She also made the Emerging Teams Asia Cup squad.
Fargana Hoque Pinky, Lata Mondol, Sharmin Akter Supta and Fariha Trishna were named as standby players after featuring in the recent Sri Lanka series.
The Indian team are scheduled to arrive in Dhaka Thursday to play three one-day internationals and as many T20Is at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
The three T20Is will be held on July 9, 11 and 13, following which the three ODIs will be played on July 16, 19 and 22 respectively.
