Reuters: All-rounder Soumya Sarkar, who made his debut against Zimbabwe last month, has been rewarded for his strong domestic performance with a spot in Bangladesh’s 15-man World Cup squad. The 21-year-old Sarkar played his only one-day international in the final match of the five-ODI series against Zimbabwe in Dhaka, which the hosts won 5-0. Besides Sarkar, who has scored heavily in the ongoing Dhaka Premier Division competition, left-arm spinner Taijul Islam and attacking batsman Sabbir Rahman also made their debuts against Zimbabwe and were named in the World Cup party. “We have tried to select a balanced team,” Bangladesh chief selector Faruque Ahmed told reporters on Sunday. “So, we have enrolled a few all-rounders into the squad.” Bangladesh will be led by fast bowler Mashrafe Mortaza while all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been named vice-captain. The Cricket World Cup will be staged in Australia and New Zealand from Feb. 14 to March 29. Squad: Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque, Soumya Sarkar, Mominul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Nasir Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), Taskin Ahmed, Al-Amin Hossain, Rubel Hossain, Arafat Sunny, Taijul Islam
