Mushfiqur Rahim and Taskin Ahmed will undergo Yo-Yo Test following their break as the duo participated in the Zim-Afro T-10 League. Shakib al Hasan and other cricketers who are busy in franchise leagues will take Yo-Yo Test separately.
"Those who have played in foreign leagues... Taskin and Mushfiqur, will rest and do the (Yo Yo Test) after 2 days. To overcome travel fatigue and match pressure. We are planning to do it on the weekend. Litton, who is in Canada, will return after few days. We will think about Shakib, Shoriful and Hridoy who are in Sri Lanka before going to the Asia Cup," he added.
