Bangladesh is gearing up for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, aiming to replicate their success from the 2017 edition where they reached the semi-finals. Despite captain Najmul Hossain’s aspirations of winning the tournament, the team faces challenges due to recent poor performances and the absence of key players like Shakib al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal. Their ODI form has been shaky, with only three wins out of nine matches in 2024. The team’s batting unit needs to step up and score more consistently to support their strong bowling lineup. Bangladesh’s group stage schedule includes matches against India, New Zealand, and Pakistan. The team will look to start strong against India in Dubai before heading to Rawalpindi for the remaining matches. Their performance in the opening game will set the tone for the rest of the tournament. © Cricbuzz
