Bangladesh pick uncapped Fazle Mahmud; Tamim Iqbal still injured
Bangladesh have called up uncapped left-hand batsman Fazle Mahmud and recalled seamer Mohammad Saifuddin in place of the injured Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan for the three-ODI series against Zimbabwe, which starts on October 21 in Dhaka.
Shakib's recurring finger injury has ruled him out for at least three months, while Tamim still hasn't recovered from the wrist injury sustained in the Asia Cup opener against Sri Lanka.
Saifuddin last played ODI cricket in January earlier this year, while 30-year-old Mahmud, who has played 80 List A games so far, was rewarded for his performances for the A team on the tour to Ireland.
Squad: Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), Liton Das, Imrul Kayes, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Mithun, Mahmudullah, Ariful Haque, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman, Nazmul Islam, Rubel Hossain, Abu Hider, Mohammad Saifuddin, Fazle Mahmud
