Mushfiqur, Liton back in Tigers T20 squad for New Zealand series

As it was expected, experienced duo Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das returned to Bangladesh's squad for the upcoming five-match T20 International series against New Zealand next month.

Leg-spinner Aminul Islam Biplob was the other one to make the cut alongside those two batsmen as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced a 19-member team for the series on Thursday.

When they made their way, middle order batsman Mohammad Mithun was the only one from the last squad against Australia who was dropped.

Mushfiqur, Aminul Islam and Liton though were not the part of the squad that played against Australia, they were in the team for the side’s last away series in Zimbabwe. But for different reasons they missed some parts of the Zimbabwe series.

Mushfiqur had to return to the country after playing the Test against Zimbabwe due to being with his ailing parents while Liton Das came back home ahead of the T20 series in Zimbabwe due to his father-in-law’s illness. Aminul’s father died before he played any match in the Zimbabwe series.

Amongst the trio, Mushfiqur was keen to play the five-match T20 series against Australia but the Aussie’s stringent bio-bubble rules forced him to miss the series that Bangladesh eventually won by 4-1. That was Bangladesh's first bilateral series victory against Australia in any format.

Sans Mithun, the players who were the part of the squad against Australia retained their place. Mithun however didn’t play any match against Australia despite being in the team.

BCB chief selector Minhajul Abedin Nannu however believed the squad had the potentiality to win the series against New Zealand too.

“We had already proved that we are a strong team on our home soil. If the players can translate the same performance against New Zealand, we will have the edge,” Abdein told the reporters here a few days ago.
