Wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim was reinstated in Bangladesh’s ranks on Saturday when Dhaka appointed a 16-man roster for a three-day one-day international series against Zimbabwe in August. Mushfiqur has opted out of the recent series against the West Indies to perform the Islamic Hajj pilgrimage and will be absent from the three-match Twenty20 international series against Zimbabwe that will precede the ODIs.
Pace bowler Hasan Mahmud, who last played an international game 16 months ago, was made into both the T20 and ODI squads after regaining full fitness from injury.
Bangladeshi selectors added a few rookies to the T20 squad, including uncovered opener Pervez Hossain.
Wicket-keeper Nurul Hasan will lead the squad in the T20 series in the absence of regular captain Mahmudullah Riyad, who is rested.
The T20s will be held on July 30, July 31 and August 2, followed by the ODIs on August 5, 7 and 10.
All matches are held on the grounds of the Harare Sports Club.
T20 squad: Nurul Hasan Sohan (capt), Munim Shahriar, Anamul Haque, Liton Das, Afif Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Mosaddek Hossain, Najmul Hossain, Hasan Mahmud, Mehidy Hasan, Pervez Hossain.
