Injury Sidelines Mustafizur; Taskin Joins Bangladesh T20 Squad
11 Jul
Summary
- Taskin Ahmed recalled for T20 series after Mustafizur Rahman's injury.
- Mustafizur Rahman ruled out due to a right hamstring strain.
- Taskin's NOC for LPL rescinded to join the Zimbabwe T20Is.
Taskin Ahmed has been recalled to the Bangladesh squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe. This change comes after Mustafizur Rahman was ruled out due to a right hamstring strain sustained during the first ODI of the tour. Mustafizur Rahman will return home for rehabilitation, missing the rest of the Zimbabwe tour.
Originally granted permission to skip the T20Is for the Lanka Premier League, Taskin Ahmed's No Objection Certificate has been revoked by the Bangladesh Cricket Board. This decision was made to bolster the T20 squad in light of Mustafizur's injury. Taskin is expected to join the LPL after the conclusion of the Zimbabwe T20Is.
Mohammad Saifuddin has been appointed as Mustafizur Rahman's replacement for the third and final ODI in Harare. Bangladesh aims to avoid a whitewash in the ongoing ODI series before shifting focus to the T20I matches against Zimbabwe.
