Bangladesh cricket team may have been replaced by Scotland in the upcoming T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, but two Bangladeshi umpires will be part of the umpiring panel for the 20-team tournament, scheduled to begin on February 7.

Bangladeshi umpires Masudur Rahman and Gazi Sohel are set to officiate in the forthcoming Asia Cup, with the former being named as an on-field umpire in the high-voltage India-Pakistan encounter in the group-stage.

An experienced roster of 16 umpires, including two Bangladeshi umpires Gazi Sohel and Masudur Rahman Mukul, and four match referees have been selected to officiate the competition, overseeing a total of 41 matches that will feature the best young cricketers on the planet.

Towhid Hridoy scored a half-century on his debut in overseas franchise cricket to help Jaffna Kings to a 21-run victory over Colombo strikers in the opening match of the Lanka Premier League on Sunday.
