Bangladesh have named a 15-man squad for the one-off Twenty20 International and three One-Day Internationals against Pakistan.

Former captain Mohammad Ashraful has been left out of the squad, vice-captain Mahmudullah returns and pace bowler Farhad Reza has been handed a recall.

Reza last played for Bangladesh in 2008 while Mahmudullah missed the recent series against the West Indies due to illness and injury.

The two sides play a Twenty20 International in Dhaka on 29th November before the three-match ODI series gets underway on 1st December.

Bangladesh ODI/T20I squad: Mushfiqur Rahim (captain), Mahmudullah (vice-captain), Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Shahriar Nafees, Shakib Al Hasan, Alok Kapali, Naeem Islam, Nasir Hossain, Abdur Razzak, Elias Sunny, Nazmul Hossain, Shafiul Islam, Rubel Hossain, Farhad Reza
