Newly appointed one-day captain Mohammad Ashraful, pace spearhead Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, opener Tamim Iqbal and left-arm spinners Mohammad Rafique and Abdur Razzak are the five players who were picked by selectors appointed by Asian Cricket Council (ACC) last month to play against the African XI in one Twenty20 match and three one-day internationals starting from June 5.

Four players -- Ashraful, Mashrafe, Tamim and Razzak -- are in the Twenty20 side while Mashrafe and Rafique are in the main one-day side that will begin go into action from June 6.

Mashrafe replaced Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar in the one-day squad, which will be lead by Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene. The Twenty20 side will be lead by Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik.
