Tanzim Hasan Sakib has been included in the Bangladesh squad for the third and final One Day International against New Zealand, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced on Monday.

The board named the squad without major changes, retaining the core group from the first two matches.

New Zealand won the opening ODI in Mirpur by 26 runs, before Bangladesh leveled the series with a strong win in the second match. The decisive third ODI will be played in Chattogram on Thursday.

Selectors had planned to finalize the squad based on performances in the first two matches, but no significant alterations were made in the final selection.

Afif Hossain retained his place in the squad despite being dropped from the playing XI in the second ODI following a poor showing in the opener.

Pacer Mustafizur Rahman remains unavailable due to injury, with no clear update on his full fitness.

Bangladesh squad: Mehidy Hasan Miraz (captain), Litton Das (wicketkeeper), Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Saif Hassan, Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Rishad Hossain, Nahid Rana, Afif Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Tanvir Islam, Mahidul Islam Ankon.
