Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and wicketkeeper-batsman Litton Das have been left out of the squad for the Champions Trophy beginning next month.

The Bangladesh batter, who was dropped from the Champions Trophy squad on Sunday morning, responded with a century later that day in the Bangladesh Premier League.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) selection committee decided to leave Shakib Al Hasan out of the Champions Trophy squad after the star all-rounder had failed a bowling reassessment test in Chennai and remained suspended from bowling as a result.

Bangladesh Champions Trophy 2025 squad has been announced. It will be led by Najmul Hossain Shanto and has a surprise exclusion.

Having made the semi-final in the previous edition in 2017, Bangladesh will be aiming to go all the way to silverware with a stellar 15-member squad.

Wicket-keeper batter Litton Das was also snubbed from the 15-member squad while veterans Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah for another ICC event appearance.

Star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan had earlier indicated his desire to retire after the Champions Trophy, and his exclusion from Bangladesh’s 15-man squad for the upcoming tournament likely marks the end of his stellar 18-year international career.

Bangladesh squad for Champions Trophy: Najmul Hossain Shanto (captain), Mushfiqur Rahim (wicket-keeper), Towhid Hridoy, Soumya Sarkar, Tanzid Hasan, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Parvez Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan, and Nahid Rana.

Bangladesh have left Litton Das out of their squad for the Champions Trophy. The high-profile axing follows a string of low scores from the wicketkeeper-batter in ODIs: he has not made a half-century in his last 13 innings,
