The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has officially revealed the national team’s central contract list for 2026. The board has expanded the pool this year, increasing the number of contracted cricketers from 21 to 28.
Meanwhile, Nurul Hasan Sohan, Shamim Hossain, Saif Hassan and Nayeem Hasan have returned to the central contract list after previously missing out.
