Naim Sheikh joins Bangladesh team in UAE

DHAKA, Oct 11, 2025 (BSS) - Naim Sheikh has joined Bangladesh team in Abu 
Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) today just before his side's second ODI 
game against Afghanistan.

A visa complicacy made his arrival to UAE uncertain for which he missed the 
first two matches. 

While he somehow was able to reach UAE, Soumya who was in the T20 squad had 
finally got his visa problem unresolved. Therefore Soumay couldn't play the 
T20 series against Afghanistan despite being in the squad.

Naim, though, reached UAE, he will be available for selection in the playing 
XI in the third and final match.

"I am happy that finally I was able to board the flight after the visa 
complicacy," Naim said ahead of leaving the country.

"I was in the squad in last ODI series of Bangladesh. As has been the case, I 
will try my best to show a good performance if the team management includes 
me in the playing XI."
