The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has today announced their 14-member squad for the ODI series against Zimbabwe to be played from 27th October to 5th November in Bangladesh. Shakib Al Hasan has been named as skipper of the host team.

 All-rounder Mashrafe Mortaza is dropped from the team due to knee injury. Mortaza has been advised to rest for four weeks as he had undergone surgery on both knees in August in Australia.
