Abul Hasan to replace Mustafizur in Bangladesh squad

Bangladesh

Bangladesh have called up Abul Hasan to replace fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman in the squad for the upcoming three-match T20 series against Afghanistan.

Left-arm paceman Mustafizur, who recently completed a stint with the Mumbai Indians in the IPL, had to withdraw from the Tigers’ squad due to a toe injury.

Abul Hasan, who has taken two wickets in four T20Is at an economy rate of 9.81, will join up with the rest of the Bangladesh squad in India on Friday, with the series set to start on Sunday.

All three matches will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Dehradun.

Afghanistan have selected a rather youthful squad for the series as they concentrate on preparing for their inaugural Test against India that starts on 14 June in Bengaluru.

Bangladesh T20 squad: Shakib Al Hasan (capt), Mahmudullah Riyad (vice-capt), Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Liton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, Sabbir Rahman, Mosaddek Hossain, Ariful Haque, Mehedi Hasan, Nazmul Islam, Abul Hasan, Abu Hider, Rubel Hossain and Abu Jayed

Afghanistan T20 squad: Asghar Stanikzai (capt), Najeeb Tarakai, Usman Ghani, Mohammad Shahzad, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Najibullah Zadran, Samiullah Shenwari, Shafiqullah, Darwish Rasooli, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Gulbadin Naib, Karim Janat, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Shapoor Zadran, Aftab Alam
