Mushfiqur Rahim is all set to return for the second and final T20 international against Afghanistan, confirmed by Bangladesh physio Bayzid Ul Islam on Friday.
Mushfiqur was seen at practice, facing spin and pace bowlers at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today.
"We did an X-ray of his right hand as the ball hit his thumb. There were no cracks. We kept an eye on him yesterday,” said Bayzid.
“There was no problem. He also batted this morning. He has played spin and also against pace bowling. Now he is safe and fit to play in the next match,” he added.
The experienced wicket-keeper batter was unavailable for the first T20 after he suffered a thumb injury at practice. Wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan Sohan was included in the squad as a replacement.
Tigers won the first T20I against the visitors by 61 runs, they will clash in the second T20I on March 5 at the SBNCS.
