Bangladesh Cricket Board
(BCB) on Wednesday announced a 14-man squad for the two-match T20 series
against South
Africa .
The most noticeable inclusion of this squad is Sohag Gazi.
The right-arm off-spinner,
Sohag Gazi, was suspended from bowling on 8 October last year during Bangladesh ’s tour of West Indies because of his illegal bowling action. However, he
has been cleared and allowed to play domestic ODI competitions by the
International Cricket Council (ICC) after correcting his bowling action. He
tested his remodelled bowling action in Chennai earlier this year.
Gazi has been recalled in
the squad
as a replacement for Mahmudullah Riyad who is yet to recover from finger
injury. Due to his injury, he could not play against India in the recently concluded series.
The injury of Taskin Ahmed
has come as a big blow for the team. The young speed star sustained a rib
injury during training session last week. He will be out of the game for three
weeks. He has been replaced by young leg-spinner Jubair Hossain who is waiting
to make his debut in the shortest format of the game.
Mustafizur Rahman, who
caught media attention showing his superb performance against India in the recently concluded ODI series, has also got
a place in the squad.

against South Africa: Mashrafe
Mortaza (C), Tamim lqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das (wk), Mushfiqur Rahim, Rony
