Mustafizur Needs To Prove Fitness To Get Selected For India Tour

Rahman has to play in the domestic first-class competition before he can be considered eligible for India tour selection, said BCB

As the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) soon be selecting the team for the upcoming tour of India, chief selector Minhajul Abedin has cleared that speedster Mustafizur Rahman has to prove his fitness in the upcoming round of the National Cricket League (NCL) to be considered eligible.


The left-arm pacer missed the opening round matches of Bangladesh's premier first-class competition as he is still recovering from an ankle injury.

The second round of NCL games begins on October 17 which gives Mustafizur just over two weeks to prepare for the India tour. But Abedin said that the call on Rahman's selection would entirely fall in the team management's hands.

Bangladesh will tour India to play three T20Is and two Tests which will be a part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC). The first T20I will be played at Delhi on November 3.
