Mushfiqur Rahim recalled for last two ODIs

Mushfiqur Rahim, the wicketkeeper, has been added to the Bangladesh squad for the last two one-dayers against Zimbabwe at Mirpur, the newest international venue in Bangladesh. Rahim replaces Tushar Imran, who will lead the Bangladesh A squad in a three-day match against Zimbabwe A starting December 11, also at Mirpur.

Rahim, also included in the A team, played his only one-dayer at Harare last year, where he played as a specialist batsman. He was picked ahead of Khaled Mashud, the regular wicketkeeper, in the Twenty20 international against Zimbabwe before the one-dayers.

The selectors also announced the Bangladesh Academy team for the warm-up match against Scotland, scheduled for December 13 at Chittagong. The team will be led by Nadif Chouwdhury.

Bangladesh have gained an unassailable 3-0 lead in the ODIs, after their 26-run win at Bogra yesterday.
