Bangladesh have brought in Soumya Sarkar and Shoriful Islam to replace Mohammad Saifuddin and Sabbir Rahman in their T20 World Cup squad. All four individuals were a part of the Bangladeshi team that competed in the just-finished tri-series in New Zealand. Despite losing all four games, technical advisor Sridharan Sriram insisted that there were benefits.
Given that Soumya and Shoriful`s performance was somewhat superior than the other two, who will now travel home from Christchurch, their inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad was inevitable. Team management chose Soumya based on his knocks of 23 and 4. Since a dismal performance in the T20 World Cup last year, Soumya had not been selected for Bangladesh in any format. In the BPL at this break in the previous season, he scored 164 runs at a strike rate of 109.33.
