Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced the squad for the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup which is set to begin on January 13, 2018 in New Zealand. While announcing, Bangladesh Cricket Board kept the captaincy of team in suspense. But it is likely that Saif Hassan, the highly-rated opener, will lead the side because he has been captain for the last two years. Bangladesh leave for New Zealand on December 26 and their tournament begins on January 13, when they take on Namibia. Canada and England are the two other teams in their group.
