Shakib, Tamim return for ODIs

Published December 3, 2018

DHAKA: Bangladesh selectors on Sunday recalled Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan to a full-strength squad for the One-day International series against West Indies.

The pair missed the Tigers’ last ODI series against Zimbabwe in October due to injuries, but were deemed fit for the upcoming three-match contest in Bangladesh.

All-rounder Shakib has captained Bangladesh during their wins in both Tests over West Indies.

Tamim has not played since injuring his wrist during the Asia Cup opener against Sri Lanka in September. He was only cleared to play the ODIs on Saturday. Selectors have also included him in the squad for a warm-up match against West Indies scheduled on Thursday 6.

The three-match ODI series will be held from Dec 9 to 14 in Dhaka and Sylhet.

Squad: Mashrafe Mortaza (captain), Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Soumya Sarkar, Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Rubel Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Mehidy Hasan, Nazmul Islam, Mohammad Mithun, Mohammad Saifuddin, Abu Hider, Ariful Haque.
