Mushfiqur Rahim has been ruled out of the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka due to injury. Tawheed Hriday’s luck has opened due to the injury of this experienced cricketer. This batter of the youth world cup winning team, who has become an integral part of the team in the middle order in limited overs cricket, is now waiting for his debut in the elite format of cricket!
In a press release on Wednesday (March 20), the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the inclusion of Hridoy as Mushfiqur’s replacement in the squad for the first of the upcoming two-match Test series against Sri Lanka.
The 21-year-old Hriday has played 30 ODIs and 14 T20Is in the national team’s jersey so far. His statistics in first class cricket are quite brilliant. Scored 913 runs in 20 innings in 14 matches at an average of 48.05. 3 centuries are accompanied by 4 half-centuries.
Mushfiqur was injured while keeping in the series-deciding ODI against Sri Lanka in Chittagong last Monday. Taskin Ahmed injured his right thumb while palming the second ball of the second over of the innings. Then continue playing with first aid. The selectors announced the first Test team keeping him.
Later, the scan report showed that Mushfiqur’s finger was torn. As a result, he has been dropped from the entire Test series.
Next Friday (March 22) the first test between the two teams will start at the Sylhet International Stadium. The next Test is in Chittagong on March 30.
