Dhaka, Apr 16 (UNI) Uncapped Abu Jayed right-arm pacer secured a place as Bangladesh named 15-man squad for the cricket World Cup on Tuesday
Jayed’s inclusion came at the expense of fast bowler Taskin Ahmed, who had missed the New Zealand tour with an ankle injury. Ahmed also doesn't feature in the 17-member squad that has been announced for the tri-series against Ireland and West Indies that takes place before the World Cup.
So far, Jayed has played five Tests since making his debut in July 2018, but is yet to earn an ODI cap. Javed’s ability to swing the ball should make him handy, as he showed during the Tests in New Zealand.
