Bangladesh have named a 15-man squad for next month's swiftly-arranged One Day International tour of Pakistan, keeping faith with the squad that beat Ireland 3-0 recently.

The squad will play five One Day Internationals and a Twenty20 International in Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan and Karachi after Australia pulled out of a planned Test and One Day International tour of the country citing security concerns.

The four players who were fined for misconduct, including captain Mohammad Ashraful, over the weekend, are all included, as is Tamim Iqbal who was warned over his future conduct.

Bangladesh: Mohammad Ashraful (captain), Mashrafe Mortaza (vice-captain), Tamim Iqbal, Junaid Siddique, Aftab Ahmed, Nazim Uddin, Shahriar Nafees, Shakib Al Hasan, Dhiman Ghosh, Abdur Razzak, Shahadat Hossain, Mahmad Ullah, Farhad Reza, Roqibul Hasan, Syed Rasel

Former Western Australia, Tasmania and Queensland fast-bowler Shane Jurgensen has been appointed as head coach of Bangladesh on a permanent basis. The 36 year-old has been Bangladesh's interim coach since Richard Pybus quit last October and has been appointed for the rest of the year.
Richard Pybus has stepped down as coach of Bangladesh, just five months after he was appointed to the job in May, when he succeeded Stuart Law. Englishman Pybus, who previously coached Pakistan, Middlesex and Titans as well as Kolkata Knight Riders, led the side during the recent ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka, where they failed to reach the Super Eight stage.
Bangladesh often have the capacity to enthrall and frustrate in equal measure. In 2007, they followed up an excellent win against the West Indies with a series of losses having flattered to deceive. Against South Africa they charged out of the blocks but couldn't sustain the pace and then fell victim to a Brett Lee hat-trick against Australia and were thumped by 64 runs when they met Sri Lanka.
Former Bangladesh cricketer Shariful Haque has been banned by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for an indefinite period after allegations made about him by current Bangladesh fast-bowler Mashrafe Mortaza relating to spot-fixing were substantiated. Mortaza made the allegations against him prior to the start of the Bangladesh Premier League, claiming that he had been approached by the 36 year-old with a spot-fixing offer.
Bangladesh bounced back from their mauling at the hands of Richie Berrington yesterday to record a comfortable victory over the Netherlands in Voorburg as their tour of northern Europe continued. Tamim Iqbal ended unbeaten on 69 as they chased down the home side's total of 144 for seven with two overs to spare.
A team of Bangladesh Members of the Parliament headed by Nazmul Hassan MP visited London to play a friendly cricket match with British Members of the Parliament, winning their one-day game by 47 runs. Invited by former Prime Minister Sir John Major and Conservative MPs, the delegation exchanged views with the All Party Parliamentary committee and also Conservative Party MPs in the House of Commons.
