Jayed had finished the season as the second highest wicket-taker with 18 scalps in 12 innings while Afif has been among discussions of the Bangladesh cricket fraternity for quite some time now, most recently because of his all-round performance for Bangladesh U-19 in the 2018 U-19 World Cup in New Zealand. Mehedi caught the attention in the last BPL taking 10 wickets in as many innings for Comilla Victorians while middle-order batsman Zakir played quite a few destructive innings for Rajshahi Kings. The left-hander scored 169 runs in eight innings. Host Bangladesh will lock horn with Sri Lanka in the first of two T20Is at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka Thursday. The second and final T20I will be played at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on February 18.
