New Delhi, March 4 - Bangladesh go into the World Cup in fine form, though short on the cup experience as 10 of their players have not played in the biggest tournament. Their 13 wins in the last 14 one-day internationals, however, make up a bit for the lack of experience.
Young wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim has replaced veteran but out-of-form Khaled Mashud in the 15-member squad for the World Cup beginning in the West Indies March 11.
Experienced batsman Habibul Bashar is captain of the team that has eight specialist batsmen.
Bangladesh is in Group B along with India, Sri Lanka and Bermuda. Their first match is against India at Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, March 17.
The final will be played April 28.
