Bangladesh Cricket: Taijul Islam included for third ODI against England

Bangladesh left-arm spinner Taijul Islam was recalled for the third ODI against England on October 12 at Chittagong at the expense of Mosharraf Hossain.

Taijul was included in the playing eleven during the ODI-series against Afghanistan, and he played two matches. He picked up a wicket but was relatively economical in both the games at Mirpur.

Mosharraf Hossain was the surprise pick in the Afghanistan series, considering he made a comeback after eight years. He was picked for the first two matches against England, and failed to shine as a cricketer when he found himself in the middle.

After the 34-run victory on Sunday, the closely contested Bangladesh-England ODI series is tied at 1-1. All eyes will be on Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium at Chittagong on October 12, Wednesday when the umpire will call play at 2:30pm local time.

Bangladesh Squad for the 3rd ODI:

Mashrafe Bin Mortaza (Captain), Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (Wicketkeeper), Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah Riyad, Imrul Kayes, Shafiul Islam, Soumya Sarkar, Taskin Ahmed, Taijul Islam, Nasir Hossain, Al-Amin Hossain, Sabbir Rahman and Mosaddek Hossain.
