Young allrounder Shamim Hossain the only new face in multi-format touring party
Shakib and Nurul are the only inclusions in the 17-man Test squad, named for the one-off Test in Harare from July 7. Nurul, Taijul Islam and Rubel Hossain have been included in the ODI side, although there was no place for Soumya Sarkar or Mahedi Hasan.
Shakib’s last Test was against West Indies in February, after which he missed the Tests against Sri Lanka because of his IPL commitment with the Kolkata Knight Riders. He also returned to the T20I squad for the first time since September 2019, as he missed Bangladesh’s New Zealand tour in March because of a thigh injury.
