The Bangladesh Cricket Board announced a 15-member squad for the second Test against Zimbabwe, which begins on April 28 at Chattogram's Bir Shrestha Flight Lieutenant Motiur Rahman Stadium. Opener Anamul Haque rejoined the Test team after three years. There are two additions to the team from the first Test. Anamul, who is currently playing well in the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League, has been called up after becoming the first Bangladeshi batter to score 50 centuries in recognized cricket.
