Mohammad Ashraful is likely to lead the team in the Twenty20 competition of the XVI Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, to be held from November 12 to 27.
The Rafiqul Alam-led selection panel already submitted the 15-member squad for board approval and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is likely to announce the team within the next two days.
Ashraful was not considered for the five-match one-day series against New Zealand at home in October.
The sources said that all-rounder Sohrawardi Shuvo, who got a place in the 14-member team for the five-match series against New Zealand, has been named as Ashraful’s deputy.
BCB is going to send a strong team in the mega event as players like Shamsur Rahman, Nazimuddin, Faisal Hossain, Mohammad Mithun, Naeem Islam, Dollar Mahmud, Shahadat Hossain, Nasir Hossain, Sabbir Rahman and Shuvagoto Hom are also included in the side.
