A fit-again Mustafizur Rahman made a comeback to the Bangladesh T20 squad for the West Indies series, starting next month.

Mustafizur missed the T20 series against Afghanistan in June due to a toe injury suffered while playing for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League in May and was replaced by Abul Hasan. Hasan was left out from the squad for West Indies tour.

He also missed a Test series in the West Indies but played a vital role in   Bangladesh's 2-1 win in their one-day series with five wickets in three matches.

"He looks fully fit now so we did not consider giving him a rest," said chief selector Minhajul Abedin.

Bangladesh ODI captain Mashrafe Mortaza and Anamul Haque and Nazmul Hossain will take the flight back home.

The first match will be held in Saint Kitts on August 1, with Florida's Lauderhill hosting the next two matches on August 4 and 5.

Bangladesh squad: Shakib Al Hasan (capt), Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Liton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, Sabbir Rahman, Mahmudullah Riyad, Mosaddek Hossain, Mehedi Hasan, Nazmul Islam Apu, Rubel Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Abu Haider, Abu Jayed, Ariful Haque.
