“It was a close call between the two. We saw Tanzim against Sri Lanka. His dedication and hunger kept him ahead. He is also a very good fielder. Saifuddin was the only player who was changed from the squad we had submitted to ICC earlier.”
Regarding senior pacer Taskin Ahmed, Hossain said that he was picked despite injury concerns.
“The medical team informed us that Taskin will be fit at some point during the T20 World Cup, which is why he is in the squad. We will follow the ICC’s policy if a replacement is needed. They can be done later. However, I don’t think Taskin can play this month’s series against the USA.”
