BCB announces Test squad for upcoming India tour
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced the 16-member squad on Thursday for the upcoming two-match Test series against India, leaving out pacer Shoriful Islam.
Shoriful is yet to recover from the groin injury he sustained after Bangladesh first Test against Pakistan, reports BSS.
"Shoriful is yet to recover from his groin injury sufficiently and so we did not take any risk with him," the BCB selection panel chairman Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu said on Thursday.
The Bangladesh team preparation camp is taking place at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, keeping the India series in mind.
