The Bangladesh Cricket Board Thursday announced the squad for the five-match T20I series against New Zealand next month.
Wicketkeeper-batsmen Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das and leg -spinner Aminul Islam, who missed the T20I series against Australia this month, returned to the squad but injured opener Tamim Iqbal has not been included.
The Black Caps will arrive in Dhaka Tuesday.
All the matches - scheduled to start 4pm - will be held behind closed doors at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
The five matches will be played on September 1, 3, 5, 8 and 10 respectively.
A three-member New Zealand Cricket delegation team are already in Dhaka to assess the bio-safety bubble that is to be in place during the five-T20I series.
Earlier, BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury informed to the media that New Zealand Cricket has requested BCB to provide Covid-19 safety protocol similar to that was in place when Australia cricket team visited Dhaka earlier this month.
