Taskin Ahmed’s impressive domestic cricket performances paved the way for his return to the Bangladesh squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup. His previous absence from the squad was during the late-2014 series against Zimbabwe. A former under-19s international, Taskin made his debut in the one-day international format against India in June 2014, leaving a significant mark by claiming a five-wicket haul on his debut. This outstanding performance included taking the wickets of notable Indian batsmen such as Robin Uthappa, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Ambati Rayudu.
