Bangladesh fast bowling spearhead Mustafizur Rahman has been ruled out from 15-man squad for next month’s Test series against West Indies after the pacer failed to recover from an injury. He hurt his left big toe last month during an Indian Premier League match he played for the Mumbai Indians.
“Barring a miracle he is unlikely to be fit before the second Test, so we left him out from the squad,” Afghanistan, chief selector Minhajul Abedin said Monday.
The first Test will be played in Antigua from July 4 while the second and final Test will be held in Kingston, Jamaica from July 12.
Squad: Shakib Al Hasan (Capt), Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Mahmudullah, Liton Das, Mominul Haque, Mehidy Hasan, Taijul Islam, Kamrul Islam, Rubel Hossain, Nurul Hasan, Abu Jayed, Nazmul Hossain and Shafiul Islam.
