He subsequently missed the remaining Asia Cup tournament, and the multi-format home series against Zimbabwe. He was expected to be a part of the two Tests against the Windies, which Bangladesh won 2-0, but due to an untimely rib injury in the training session, his return was further delayed.
The team will be led by their regular ODI captain Masrafe Mortaza, while Shakib Al Hasan, the Test captain, will be his deputy.
