Mosaddek Hossain recalled to Bangladesh ODI squad after four-year absence
The 30-year-old last played a 50-over contest for the Tigers in August 2022 and is one of two changes to the squad that beat Pakistan in a recent series.
Nurul Hasan has also been recalled with Mahidul Islam and Afif Hossain dropped from the squad for the first two games of the three-match series against the Aussies.
"We couldn't provide Afif and Mahidul with lot of opportunities. Replacing them is a tactical change," Bangladesh chief selector Habibul Bashar said.
"Mosaddek could bat at No. 6. He is in good form. He has more skills to offer. He is in good form in the DPL. He also has all-round ability. He bowls quite well. He could offer a balance for us in the middle-order.
"Nurul Hasan is replacing Mahidul because the latter is a top-order batter. Nurul bats around No. 6 or 7 as a wicketkeeper-batter. We believe Nurul is more skillful in that position."
It will be Bangladesh's first bilateral ODI series against Australia in 15 years with all games to be played in Mirpur on 9, 11 and 14 June.
Bangladesh ODI squad: Mehidy Hasan Miraz (captain), Soumya Sarkar, Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Tawhid Hridoy, Litton Das, Mosaddek Hossain, Nurul Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Nahid Rana
