Bangladesh make one change to the T20I squad
Mustafizur Rahman has returned to the T20 side of the national team ahead of the three-match series of their ongoing tour. Nearly two months after suffering a whitewash against Afghanistan, Bangladesh will go into another T20I series, this time against the West Indies.
Bangladesh will be desperate to make a comeback in the 20-over format and Mustafizur’s presence will surely inspire the side. The fast-bowler had missed the previous T20I series due to a toe injury sustained during an IPL [Indian Premier League] encounter.
Abul Hasan, who had replaced Mustafizur in the series against Afghanistan, has been left out of the squad.
Following the ODI series, Ariful Haque will join the Tigers for the T20Is and Mashrafe Moratza, Anamul Haque, and Nazmul Hossain will head back to country.
The T20I series will be held from August 1 to 5. Following the series opener at St. Kitts, both sides will move to the USA and Lauderhill in Florida for the final two fixtures.
West Indies completed a clean sweep in the Tests and the ODI series is currently leveled at 1-1.
