Mustafizur Rahman included in Bangladesh squad for the preparatory camp in Australia

Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman who emerged as a sensation in the national cricketing scenes and in no time became the match-winner in the time was soon playing all the formats for the national team and in Twenty20 leagues and county as well. Such a workload was expected to cause burnout and we saw Mustafizur injure himself towards the last part of the IPL where he played for eventual champions Sunrisers Hyderabad.

He recovered and in no time was on a flight to England to play for Sussex in the county season. The left-arm pacer sustained a shoulder injury and this time it required a surgery. He went under the knife in August and is rehabilitating now on his way to make a comeback on the cricket field.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Friday named Mustafizur in a 22-man preparatory squad that will undergo training in Australia next month before the team leaves for New Zealand where they will play a three ODI, and Twenty20 Internationals series along with a two-Test series in December and January.

The squad also includes uncapped names like Tanveer Haider, Ebadat Hossain and Nazmul Hossain Shant they will land in Australia on the very next day after the conclusion of the Bangladesh Premier League 2016. BCB has organized a 10-day training camp in Sydney for the players.

But there are a few expected names who missed out as well, the likes of Rubel Hossain, Nasir Hossain, Al-Amin Hossain, Kamrul Islam Rabbi and Mosharraf Hossain haven’t been named for the camp. Rabbi is the only player from the Bangladesh XI that played and won the second Test against England to be ignored.
