Bangladesh recall wicket-keeper Nurul Hasan for Zimbabwe series

DHAKA: Bangladesh on Wednesday recalled wicketkeeper-batsman Nurul Hasan for their squad for all three formats in an upcoming tour of Zimbabwe.
Nurul, who last played for Bangladesh in 2018, joins the squad as a back-up for injured wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim, said chief selector Minhajul Abedin.
Mushfiqur will rest for the Twenty20 series but has been included in the Test squad and for a one-day international.
“We expect him to come back before the series starts.
But we felt a back-up was needed,” Abedin said.
“Sohan (Nurul) has been doing good in recent matches.
So, he was included in the squad.” Bangladesh will leave home on June 29 for their first series in Zimbabwe in more than eight years.
The series, which starts on July 7, features one Test, three ODIs and three Twenty20 internationals.
Matches will be held behind closed doors at Harare Sport Club, the Zimbabwe Cricket announced on Tuesday.
Promising Under-19 World Cup winner Shamim Hossain was handed his maiden call-up in the T20 squad while leg-spinner Aminul Islam Biplob was also recalled for the T20s.
All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will return to the Test squad after he opted out of a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka in April.
Mushfiq asked the Bangladesh Cricket Board to grant him leave for the T20Is against Zimbabwe — a request that has been approved.
