Bangladesh cricketer Rishad has been given a place in an SA T20 squad, Dhaka Mail reported on Thursday. The same report indicates that Nahid did not receive a spot in the side.
Coverage of the selection from Jugantor focused on how many Bangladesh players will feature in the SA20, framing Nahid's omission alongside the question of the country's representation in the tournament. BdCricTime also published an assessment of how Rishad's squad shapes up for the SA T20.
The reports surfaced together as Bangladeshi outlets worked through the squad lists. Beyond Rishad's inclusion and Nahid's absence, the available material does not specify the full composition of the squad or the roles either player was expected to fill.
In separate cricket news, Kaler Kantho reported that New Zealand's Watling has returned to the national side in a different role. The same outlet also carried a report on a match in which Mahmudullah struck eight sixes but his team still lost to a side led by Warner.
What to watch next: further squad announcements and confirmation of which Bangladesh players will take part in the SA20.
