Bangladesh have announced their squad for the second Test match against Zimbabwe, with opener Anamul Haque making his return to the side after three years. Anamul had last featured for Bangladesh in a Test match against the West Indies in June 2022.

In the first test, Zimbabwe pulled off a stunning three-wicket win, with Brian Bennett being the star of the show. The second test will get underway on April 28 at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. 

Bangladesh squad: Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Shadman Islam, Anamul Haque, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahidul Islam Ankon, Jaker Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Nayeem Hasan, Tanvir Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Khaled Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib
