Afghanistan in Bangladesh 2016

Bangladesh name rookie Mosaddek in ODI

Dhaka: Bangladesh on Thursday named uncapped batsman Mosaddek Hossain and recalled bowler Shafiul Islam in their squad for the start of their first ever bilateral one-day series against Afghanistan.

The selectors also dropped paceman Al-Amin Hossain in a revamped 13-man squad for the first two games in three-match contest that begins on Sunday at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.

Paceman Rubel Hossain was also recalled to the side after an injury-plagued season which forced him to miss the Zimbabwe ODIs in November last year.

Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam also returned to the team, having last played an ODI against New Zealand in the World Cup last year. Paceman Taskin Ahmed will join the squad provided he gets clearance from the ICC over his bowling action, said chief selector Abedin.

All three matches are taking place at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium, with the second game on September 28 and the finale on October 1.

Bangladesh squad for first two ODI: Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Sabbir Rahman, Mahmudullah Riyad, Mosaddek Hossain, Nasir Hossain, Taijul Islam, Shafiul Islam and Rubel Hossain
