Masrafe Mortaza will hope to rattle some Aussie batsmen
|
Pace bowler Mashrafe Mortaza has returned to fitness to make the Bangladesh Test squad for the two-match series against Australia.
The fast bowler played the last of his 18 previous Tests against England last year but has struggled with a persistent back problem ever since.
The home side announced their 14-man squad on the same day Australia arrived in Dhaka ahead of Sunday's first Test.
Young wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim has not been given a place.
Australia are making their first tour of Bangladesh, but despite a number of injury concerns are expected to be far too tough for the Tigers.
Squad: Habibul Bashar (captain), Khaled Mashud, Javed Omar,
Nafees Iqbal, Mohammad Ashraful, Aftab Ahmed, Rajin Saleh, Alok
Kapali, Shahriar Nafees, Mohammad Rafique, Mashrafe Mortaza,
Syed Rasel, Enamul Haque Jr, Shahadat Hossain.
