Bangladesh named an unchanged squad for next week's series decider against Australia.
DHAKA (AFP) - Bangladesh named an unchanged squad for next week s series decider against Australia, after clinching a historic win over the tourists in their opening Test in Dhaka on Wednesday.
The hosts beat Steve Smith s men by 20 runs in a thrilling victory on home soil, their first ever win against Australia since gaining Test status in 2000.
Mushfiqur Rahim s men are hoping to seal the series when they square off against Australia in the second and final Test starting at Chittagong on September 4.
Australia -- who are touring Bangladesh for the first time in more than a decade -- are currently ranked fourth to Bangladesh s lowly ninth in ICC Test rankings.
The Baggy Greens on Wednesday added left-arm slow bowler Steve O Keefe to their squad for the second Test. O Keefe will replace fast bowler Josh Hazlewood who has been ruled out of the series with injury.
Squad: Mushfiqur Rahim (capt), Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Imrul Kayes, Shakib Al Hasan, Nasir Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, Mehedi Hasan, Shafiul Islam, Taijul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Mominul Haque, Liton Das, Taskin Ahmed.
