Bangladesh on Thursday added pace bowler Shafiul Islam for the reminder of their South Africa tour to replace injured Mustafizur Rahman, said the Bangladesh Cricket Board
\nShafiul was scheduled to leave Dhaka to join the squad in South Africa on Thursday night while would return on October 23 to continue his recovery from an ankle injury, said the BCB.
\nMustafizur suffered the injury during a training session in Kimberly on October 14 and missed the first two one-day internationals of three-match series against South Africa.
\nBangladesh are trailing the hosts 0-2 in the series after two heavy defeats, which followed their 0-2 drubbing the in the preceding Test series.
\nThe third ODI is scheduled on October 22 at East London.
\nSelector Habibul Bashar told New Age, Shafiul will also be part of the squad that will play two Twenty20 internationals for the ODIs
\n\u2018We will name a separate squad for T20s but Shafiul will be part of it,\u2019 he said.
\nOne-day skipper Mashrafee bin Murtaza is among the players expected to return after the ODI series.
\nMeanwhile, South Africa rested Hasim Amla for the third ODIs and replaced him with Aiden Markram, who looked certain to make his debut in East London.
\nAmla made 492 runs at an average of 123.00 in two Tests and two one-day internationals against Bangladesh.
\nMarkram, 23, also made a successful Test debut against the tourists, scoring 97, 15 and 143 in his three innings.
\nHe followed up with 82 in a one-day warm-up match for a South African Invitation team against Bangladesh ahead of the one-day internationals.
\nWith South Africa having already won the one-day series, 19-year-old all-rounder Wiaan Mulder also looks likely to make his debut, with captain Faf du Plessis having stated after Wednesday\u2019s series-clinching win in Paarl that South Africa were \u2018looking to give a few guys opportunities\u2019 in the dead rubber game.<\/p>\n
