Amite Hasan is on the verge of his Test debut for Bangladesh in the one-off Test against Zimbabwe, scheduled to commence on Sunday, June 28, 2026. He is expected to replace the injured Litton Kumar Das. Hasan's inclusion follows a successful domestic season, highlighted by a century against Zimbabwe A.

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto confirmed the team has adapted well to the local conditions. He expressed confidence in the squad's preparation and their ability to perform strongly, aiming to build momentum for subsequent away series in Australia. Zimbabwe previously defeated Bangladesh in a Test match played last year in Sylhet.
