Suspense ends over Shakib Al Hasan as the veteran all-rounder missed his spot in the 15-member squad for the marquee event. This comes after the star all-rounder failed his second bowling action test held in Chennai last month. 

Litton Das who is currently going through a rough patch in his career also missed his spot in the 15-member side. In his last  25 ODIs and T20Is, his average is just 13.13. The star is currently featuring in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) (three single-digit scores and only one more than 31 in his first five games). Earlier he missed the spot from the ODI squad in March last year.
