Dhaka, 29 Oct - The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) today announced the squad for the upcoming Hong Kong Sixes 2025, scheduled from November 7 to 9 at the Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground in Hong Kong.
Bangladesh are yet to lift the Hong Kong Sixes title but will be aiming to go further this year after an impressive run in 2024, where the team reached the semifinals.
Wicketkeeper batter Akbar Ali will lead the side in the tournament. Experienced bowling all-rounder Abu Hider Rony is back in the tournament after featuring in last year's edition.
Attacking opener Jishan Alam also retains his place after an outstanding showing in the 2024 edition. He scored 152 runs at an average of 76 and took six wickets in four matches.
The squad also includes Mohammad Saifuddin who was a part of the squad last year as well, picking up three wickets in four games. Mosaddek Hossain Saikat, who has represented Bangladesh across all formats in 80 international matches adds depth to the side.
Left-arm spinner Rakibul Hasan and pace-bowling allrounder Tofael Ahmed Rayhan complete the lineup.BSS
