Aliss slam is the biggest surprise in the Bangladesh squad for the Sri Lanka series. Aliss, who has shown good performances for Comilla Victorians in the ongoing BPL, has been called up to the national team for the first time. Many believe that he has been called up to the team a little too quickly.

The Sri Lanka series squad has been given by the selection panel led by Minhajul Abedin Nannu. Nannu will officially step down from the post at the end of his term on February 29. At the same time, Habibul Bashar Sumon's term as a selector will also end. A day ago (February 28). Nannu explained calling Aliss to the team.

Nannu said in an exclusive interview with BDCricTime, “Aliss bowls a little differently. We discussed this with team management. Since the player is outside the system. There is (T20) World Cup ahead. Different types of bowlers are also needed. We also want to come under a little management. The management will then consider whether he is ready for internationals. The team that we have now is a very challenging team. Hope to see a good series with Sri Lanka.”

Even after the home series, the squad has been given well in advance. In this context, Nannu added, “You don't select a team by watching a tournament. Which of our players will play in the national team is already set up. If someone performs very well, we will notice. International and domestic cricket are not the same. Everyone should accept it. Teams are made depending on who will do well in the international.”
