Shafiul back in Tigers squad for Champions Trophy

Bangladesh seamer Shafiul Islam

Shafiul Islam has been recalled to the Bangladesh squad for the ICC Champions Trophy but Nurul Hasan, Subashis Roy and Shuvagata Hom were overlooked for the tournament in England.

The Tigers have favoured seam over spin, with Shafiul back in the one-day international squad for the first time since facing England last October.

Nurul was not included in a list of 15 for Bangladesh's first participation in the Champions Trophy since back in 2006, but the wicketkeeper has been named in a party of 18 for a tri-series in Ireland next month.

Seamer Roy will also travel to Ireland to face the hosts and New Zealand, but was omitted from the Champions Trophy squad. Batsman Hom missed out on a place in both squads.
