After skipping Pakistan tour, Mushfiqur Rahim returns to Bangladesh squad for Test match against Zimbabwe

Dhaka/IBNS: Cricketer Mushfiqur Rahim has been named in the Bangladesh squad which will play the lone Test against Zimbabwe starting on 22 February 2020 in Dhaka.

The senior cricketer decided to skip the Pakistan tour citing family reasons.

The 16-member squad has four changes from the team that had toured Pakistan earlier this month for the Test match in Rawalpindi.

The players left out are batsmen Mahmud Ullah and Soumya Sarker and pacers Rubel Hossain and Al-Amin Hossain.

Mushfiqur Rahim returns to the side after opting out of the Test against Pakistan. Off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz is also back after recovering from an injury while there are recalls for left-arm paceman Mustafizur Rahman and fellow speedster Taskin Ahmed.

The uncapped cricketers in the squad are batsman Yasir Ali Chowdhury and fast bowler Hasan Mahmud. 

Chairman of BCB National Selection Panel Minhajul Abedin was quoted as saying by the cricket board's website: “I believe we have selected the best possible Test squad under present circumstances. There is a very nice blend of experience and potential."

Bangladesh squad:


Mominul Haque (Captain), Tamim Iqbal, Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Mithun, Liton Kumar Das, Taijul Islam, Abu Jayed Chowdhury, Nayeem Hasan, Ebadat Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Yasir ali Chowdhury.
