Bangladesh included 13 uncapped players in a 30-man provisional squad named on Wednesday for the first world Twenty20 tournament in South Africa this September.

The provisional squad will be trimmed to 15 by Aug. 11.

"We have included a number of young cricketers in the provisional squad, to give them a break if they can prove their worth," said chief selector Faruk Ahmed.
