Shafiul leaves to join team
Pacer Shafiul Islam left Dhaka yesterday evening to join the national team in East London, where the Tigers will play their third and final ODI against South Africa at Buffalo Park.
The right-arm paceman was recalled after left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman was ruled out of the tour after twisting his ankle during training before the first ODI.
Shafiul played the first Test match against South Africa and took two wickets but did not feature in the second Test and returned home after he was not considered for the three-match ODI series.
Bangladesh have already lost the ODI series after South Africa thrashed them in the first two matches. The first T20I will be held at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein on October 26 and the second will be played at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom on October 29.
Mustafizur along with ODI skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza are likely to return home on October 24.
