Bangladesh cricket: Mosharraf included in squad for third ODI

The Bangladesh Cricket Board announced the 14-man squad for the third and final ODI on October 1 against Afghanistan today.

Mosharraf Hossain Rubel, the 34 year old cricketer who last played for Tigers in March 2008 may have an opportunity to serve his country once again on Saturday. His inclusion hints the Bangladesh think-tank would prefer a spin-heavy attack considering the playing conditions at Mirpur for the series decider.

Tigers eked out a win in the first ODI by seven runs, and then were beaten by 2 wickets on Wednesday
