Allrounder Shakib Al Hasan was reviewed to Bangladesh's squad for a two-match T20 series against Afghanistan one month from now.
Shakib missed the side's latest T20 series against Pakistan last year because of injury.
Uncapped players Munim Shahriar and Yasir Ali were also included in the 14-man squad after amazing exhibitions in the Bangladesh Premier League.
Opening player Shahriar made 178 runs in six matches for Fortune Barishal, a strike pace of 152. Yasir Ali, who recently was named to Bangladesh's ODI crew, scored 219 runs in 11 counterparts for Khulna Tigers for a strike pace of 139.49.
Nurul Hasan Sohan, Akbar Ali, Shamim Patwari, Aminul Islam Biplob, Najmul Hossain Shanto, and Saif Hasan were dropped from the 16-man crew that played against Pakistan.
The T20 series will be played on March 3 and 5. Preceding that, the groups will play a three-match ODI series starting Feb. 23.
