Mominul Haque has been named captain of the 16-member Bangladesh A side for their side of Sri Lanka. Soumya Sarkar and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are the other notable inclusions. While Mehidy was unable to find a place in the Twenty20 International side for the Tri-Nation series, Soumya was dropped after two matches after scores of 4 and 0.
Bangladesh A will play two four-day matches and three one-dayers against Sri Lanka A from September 23 to October 12. The side also includes Mohammad Mithun, Shadman Islam and Abu Jayed.
The national selectors have also named an Under-23 Bangladesh side that will play five one-day matches in India from September 19 to 27 at Lucknow's Ekana Cricket Stadium. Saif Hassan, also in the A side, will lead the side, which means he will fly from India to Sri Lanka once the Under-23 matches are over on September 27.
