Rubel Left Out From World T20 Preliminary Squad

Dhaka: Fast bowler Rubel Hossain has been left out of Bangladesh's 30-member preliminary squad for the World Twenty20 to be held in Sri Lanka from September 18.

Six uncapped players in Mominul Haque, Sabbir Rahman, Sohag Gazi, Kazi Kamrul Islam, Al-Amin Hossain and Alauddin Babu.

Rubel had injured his shoulder while playing in the Bangladesh Premier League in February and hasn't played top-flight cricket since. He underwent surgery in South Africa for the problem, and had hoped to be fit in time for the World Twenty20.

Bangladesh will take on New Zealand on September 21 in their first World Twenty20 match, before playing against Pakistan on September 25. Both matches will be held at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
