Bangladesh name Test squad to face Proteas with uncapped Mahfijul called up
Bangladesh have announced their squad for the upcoming two-Test series against the Proteas.
Bangladesh has unveiled their Test squad for the upcoming two-match series against South Africa, featuring the debut of uncapped opener Mahfijul Islam. The inclusion of Mahfijul comes as they are without injured opener Shadman Islam, who suffered an ankle injury in the ongoing second Test against West Indies. Mohammad Naim, who has scored 612 runs in seven innings during the ongoing National Cricket League, also makes a return after a four-year absence.
However, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, who was another eligible opener, is unable to participate due to medical reasons. The series is set to begin in Johannesburg on November 15 and will continue with two Test matches followed by three ODIs and three T20Is.
