The 29-year-old, regarded as a white-ball specialist, recently featured for Bangladesh A in the unofficial ODI series against South Africa.

Saifuddin has been ruled out of the Asian Games after suffering a right hamstring injury.

Aliss has yet to make his senior international debut for Bangladesh.
