- Despite being eligible to play as a batsman, Shakib was not selected, signaling a potential end to his ODI career after retiring from Tests and T20Is.
- Litton Das was dropped following a string of poor performances, with selectors emphasizing the need for in-form top-order batsmen for the tournament.
- Bangladesh will face India in their Group A opener on February 20 in Dubai, with Pakistan hosting most of the Champions Trophy matches.
