Injury rules Mustafizur Rahman out of the Test squad against West Indies


Bangladesh pace spearhead, Mustafizur Rahman, has not completely recovered from injury, thus failing to make his place in the 15-man squad announced for the two-match Test series against West Indies. 
The 22-year-old left-arm fast bowler sustained injury while playing for his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Mumbai Indians. His left big toe was badly injured and therefore he missed out on the recently concluded three-match T20 series against Afghanistan.
According to chief selector, Minhajul Abedin, Mustafizur does not have any possibility to be fit before the second Test. For this reason, he was left out of the squad. To replace him, Abu Jayed Chowdhury, who is yet to make his Test debut, was called-up to the Test squad.
Bangladesh tour of West Indies, 2018 will start with Tests, beginning from July 4 at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. The tour also includes three ODIs and three T20Is.
