Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hasan said on Friday that pace bowler Taskin Ahmed will be warming the reserve bench during the World Cup.

According to BCB boss they are not interested to make any changes in the 15-member World Cup squad while they selected a pool of players as probable World Cup replacements so that they can fill the spot during the tournament if it is required due to injury.

The announcement cleared all the air regarding the inclusion of Taskin in the World Cup as it was rumored that he would be included in the last minute in place of Abu Jayed Rahi.

Jayed, who was the surprised inclusion in the Bangladesh’s 15-member World Cup squad as he was picked despite not playing until any ODI’s until then grabbed five wickets in only his second game against Ireland to make sure his place is not at risk in the WC squad.

‘’We are not going to make any changes in the World Cup squad unless it required due to injury,’’ Nazmul told reporters during an iftar party hosted by BCB at the local hotel on Friday.   

‘’We have made a list of players who will be our probable replacement in the World Cup and we have selected it according to individual position,’’ he said

For example now our pace unit comprised with Mustafizur, Rubel, Saifuddin and Mashrafee while there is Jayed as the fifth bowler,’’ he said.
