Pacer Hasan Mahmud will replace Shohidul Islam in the Bangladesh squad for their forthcoming tour of West Indies after the latter was ruled out due to a side strain, confirmed Bangladesh national team chief selector Minhajul Abedin.
Bangladesh are scheduled to leave for the West Indies in three separate groups from June 3 to 5 to take part in two Tests, three ODIs and similar number of T20Is against the Caribbean’s.
The series starts with the first Test in Antigua on June 16.
‘We are going to name Hasan Mahmud as the replacement of Shohidul shortly,’ Minhajul told New Age on Tuesday.
Right-arm pacer Shohidul, who played his only T20I against Pakistan last year, was included in the Test and T20I squads for the West Indies tour but had been ruled out of the series after he suffered a side strain during training in Mirpur on Monday.
Bangladesh Cricket Board physician Manzur Hosaain Chowdhury told reporters on Tuesday that Mahmud would take four to six weeks to recover fully.
‘Shohidul suffered a side strain during training. It will take him around four to six weeks’ time to recover completely.’
