Talented Litton Das set for ODI debut

DHAKA: Litton Das, who made an impressive Test debut for Bangladesh against India in Fatullah last week, is set to cut his teeth in the shorter format too.
The hard-hitting batsman, who made a fine 44 and also kept wickets, is tipped to make his debut in the first ODI versus India at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadi um in Mirpur on Thursday.
With Mushfiqur Rahim ready to take up the big gloves again, Litton will play as a batsman.He will either open with the experienced Tamim Iqbal or bat at No. 3, looking to give Bangladesh a flying start.
Mustafizur Rahman, the other uncapped player in the Bangladesh squad, may have to wait for his maiden ODI cap as the home team is likely to go with Rubel Hossain, Taskin Ahmed and captain Mashrafe Mortaza in the pace department.
Mustafizur caught the eye in the one-off T20I against Pakistan earlier this year when he gave a torrid time to rival bats men, scalping big guns Mohammad Hafeez and Shahid Afridi in the process.
Incidentally, the competition for places in the Bangladesh ODI lineup has got more intense in recent times.
