The Bangladesh selectors recalled Taijul Islam for the third ODI against England at the expense of Mosharraf Hossain. That was the only change in the 14-man squad from the first two ODIs.
“We wanted to keep Taijul as an option because Mosharraf has very little chance of playing the third game,” chief selector Minhajul Abedin said, without elaborating.
Mosharraf was first included for the third ODI against Afghanistan, in which he took three wickets in what was his first international match after eight years. He was picked for the first two ODIs against England, in place of Taijul, who had played the first two ODIs against Afghanistan.
The selectors have had trouble replacing Arafat Sunny in the two ODI series so far, with Taijul taking just one wicket against Afghanistan while Mosharraf went wicketless against England and looked out of his depth as a batsman and fielder. Sunny had been sidelined due to the trouble with his bowling action, though he is now cleared to resume bowling in internationals.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board announced the 14-member squad yesterday for the third and final ODI at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong on October 12.
The squad: Mashrafe Bin Mortaza (captain), Shakib Al Hasan (vice captain), Tamim Iqbal Khan, Soumya Sarker, Imrul Kayes, Mosaddek Hossain Saikot, Mahmud Ullah Riyad, Nasir Hossain, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shabbir Rahaman, Shafiul Islam, Taijul Islam, Al Amin Hossain and Taskin Ahmed.
