Bangladesh drops captain Bhuyan for must-win Hong Kong clash

ByEnigma 808

Head coach Javier Cabrera has made a bold decision for Bangladesh’s crucial AFC Asian Cup Qualifier against Hong Kong, leaving captain Jamal Bhuyan on the bench. Cabrera has made three changes from the 4-3 home loss last Thursday, bringing in Topu Barman, Zayyan Ahmed, and Shamit Shome. Topu, who missed the first leg due to injury, replaces Bhuyan as captain.

The match kicks off at 6 PM Bangladesh time at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Sports Park, where Bangladesh’s Asian Cup hopes hang in the balance. With no margin for error, Cabrera’s revamped lineup is looking to regain the form they narrowly lost in Dhaka.

Bangladesh XI: Mitul Marma, Topu Barman (C), Shakil Ahad Topu, Tariq Kazi, Zayyan Ahmed, Saad Uddin, Hamza Choudhury, Shamit Shome, Sohel Rana, Shekh Morsalin, Rakib Hossain.
