Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced a full West Indies tour squad as Anamul Haque Bijoy has returned to Tiger shorter formats squad as Mustafizur Rahman was named for the Test series.
Mustafizur has been called up to the Bangladesh Test team despite his opposition to the format. The left-handed bowler did not sign a central contract for the red-ball game.
However, due to the ailments of Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam, BCB is pushing Mustafiz to play in the red-ball format.
Bijoy, the wicket-keeper batter, has been recalled to the ODI and T20I squads after a three-year absence owing to injuries and poor play. However, Bijoy's recent batting performances in domestic cricket have prompted the selectors to reconsider his inclusion in the squad.
