Litton Das will lead Bangladesh in the upcoming three-match T20I series against the West Indies, replacing regular captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, who is unavailable due to injury.

The squad announcement caused excitement with the addition of 21-year-old pacer Ripon Mondol, who has earned his first senior call-up.

Ripon first turned heads during the 2022 U-19 World Cup when he took 13 wickets in six games to earn a place in the ICC team of the tournament.

He has since gained experience in domestic cricket, high performance (HP) programs and the Asian Games, where he took four wickets in three games last year.

The squad also returns several well-known names including Soumya Sarkar, Shamim Hossain Patwary and Afif Hossain, while Afif rejoins the squad after his role in the ODI series.

The bowling attack is a balanced mix of pace and spin, with Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Nasum Ahmed, Sheikh Mehedi Hasan and leg-spinner Rishad Hossain.
