Five Indian cricketers are set to feature in the Asia XI side that will take on World XI in two official T20 matches in Bangladesh, BCCI joint secretary Jayesh Geroge confirmed in December.

Bangladesh Cricket Board has announced two Asia XI vs World XI T20I international fixtures to commemorate 100th anniversary of their founding father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The matches will take place on March 18 and March 21 at the Shre-e-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka, it was announced on Saturday.

But so far, the names of those cricketers has been not released who will be playing in the two matches. Pakistan cricketers are unlikely to feature in the Asia XI team. “There were some discussions in this regard during the Pink Ball Test in Kolkata. It looks unlikely that India and Pakistan players will feature in the same Asian XI team. It will depend on Sourav as he will have discussions with the Bangladesh Cricket Board,” George had told PTI in December.
