Tushar Imran to lead Bangladesh A

Tushar Imran, the middle-order batsman, will lead Bangladesh A in the first four-day "Test" against the touring Zimbabwe A side. Bangladesh's 13 was whittled down from an original 25-man training squad.

The first representative match starts tomorrow (March 17) at Rajshahi, and will be followed by another at Bogra (March 23-26). The two A teams will then play a five-match one-day series.
