Bangladesh Cricket Team: 3 players to watch out for ODI World Cup 2023 

The Bangladesh cricket team's 15 member ODI World Cup squad has plenty of experienced players such as skipper Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim, who can play a significant role in the team's success in the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023. However, the team also features plenty of talented young players such as Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rehman and Taskin Ahmed, who can prove to be an asset for the team in the major ICC tournaments. A look at the three Bangladeshi cricketers who can leave a lot of impact in the 2023 ODI World Cup: 

Shakib Al Hasan: The 2023 ODI World Cup is expected to be the last of Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan. Shakib is one of the most legendary all-rounders of modern-day cricket and has left a huge impact with his performance. Shakib will want to end his international career with an ODI World Cup title. However, Bangladesh is not among the favourites to win the CWC 2023, but the Indian conditions can favour the Bangladesh spinners and Shakib can also leave a lot of impact with his left-arm spin bowling.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz: The Bangladesh all-rounder has proved to be the team's biggest match-winner in recent times. Miraz has started to play impactful knocks with the bat and playing an important role in taking the team over the line. Miraz's splendid batting performance helped Bangladesh beat India in the ODI series played at the last of 2022. Mehidy can also shine in the 2023 ODI World Cup.

Litton Das: The right-handed opener has been one of the top performers for Bangladesh in the last few years. Das likes to take on the bowlers from ball one and play aggressive cricket. Litton is also expected to lead Bangladesh in the coming days and flat Indian wickets can leave a lot of impact in the upcoming 2023 ODI World Cup. 

What to expect from Bangladesh in the 2023 ODI World Cup? 

The Bangladesh cricket team has a lot of talent and potential to do well in the ODI World Cup 2023. However, the team does not look united on several occasions, but if every player of the team performs as per their talent, Bangladesh can pull off an upset in the tournament.
