DHAKA, July 17: Bangladesh have called up spinner Abdur Razzak to firm up their squad for the Zimbabwe and Kenya tour.

Bangladesh, now with 16-man squad, will play five One-day Internationals against Zimbabwe later this month and early August, before touring Kenya for three one-dayers.

Squad: Habibul Bashar (captain), Khaled Mashud (vice-captain), Javed Omar, Mohammad Rafique, Rajin Saleh, Mohammad Ashraful, Mashrafe Mortaza, Aftab Ahmed, Mushfiqur Rahim, Alok Kapali, Shahriar Nafees, Shahadat Hossain, Syed Rasel, Abdur Razzak, Sakib Al Hasan and Forhad Reza.—Reuters
