Bangladesh pick Sarkar for WC

[sachin34357]

The Bangladesh selectors were won over by Soumya Sarkar's all-round abilities to pick him in their 15-member squad for the 2015 World Cup. Nasir Hossain and Taskin Ahmed have also been recalled after missing the ODI series against Zimbabwe last month. "Soumya is a utility player who can bat at the top order and his medium-pace bowling also can be handy in Australia-New Zealand. We thought that it would be a risk to include Likhon [Jubair Hossain] in the squad and we have picked three left-arm spinners in the past, and we have been successful against middle and lower-ranking teams." Sarkar has been included as the third opener after Tamim Iqbal and Anamul Haque, and the fifth seam option after Mashrafe, Taskin Ahmed, Al-Amin Hossain and Rubel Hossain. Sarkar played his one and only ODI in the Zimbabwe series, and is the fourth-highest run-scorer in the Dhaka Premier Division League, with 615 runs at an average of 41, with four fifties and a century. He has taken only eight wickets with his medium-pace. Bangladesh World Cup squad: Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque, Soumya Sarkar, Mominul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Nasir Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), Taskin Ahmed, Al-Amin Hossain, Rubel Hossain, Arafat Sunny, Taijul Islam
