Bangladesh on Saturday included batsman Mominul Haque in their 14-man squad for the two-match Twenty20 international series against South Africa.
\nMominul came into the side as opening batsman Tamim Iqbal failed to recover sufficiently from a muscle injury that ruled him out of the remaining of the tour.\u2018Tamim will return to Dhaka on Sunday to continue his rehab,\u2019 the Bangladesh Cricket Board said in a statement.
\nTamim aggravated the injury during Wednesday\u2019s 104-run loss in the second one-day international after it already cost him a Test and an ODI during this tour.
\nPace bowlers Mashrafee bin Murtaza and Mustafizur Rahman will also return home after the ODI series, which will end today.
\nMustafiz twisted his ankle during a training session before the first ODI and did not play any part so far in the three-match series.
\nMashrafee, on the other hand, retired from Twenty20 internationals in April this year.
\nTamim\u2019s replacement Mominul did not play a Twenty20 international since April 2014.
\nBatsman Nasir Hossain, wicketkeeper Liton Das, and pace bowler Rubel Hossain have been recalled in the Twenty20 side after a decent gap.
\nLiton played last of his three T20I in November 2015 while Nasir played just one match in the ICC World Twenty20 in India last year.
\nRubel played the Twenty20 series against New Zealand earlier this year but missed the two-match series against Sri Lanka in February.
\nAt least four other players \u2013 Sanjamul Islam, Nurul Hasan, Mosaddek Hossain, Subashis Roy\u2013 who formed the part of Bangladesh team for Sri Lanka series missed out this time.
\nSakib will return to the helm of Twenty20 side, having already led Bangladesh in four matches in this format during his first stint as regular captain in 2009-10.
\nThe first T20I\u2013 a day-night- game is scheduled in Bloemfontein on October 26 before Bangladesh wrap-up their tour with the second match at Potchefstroom on October 29.<\/p>\n
