Bangladesh's opening batsman Tamim Iqbal may not be available for the one-off Test against Zimbabwe in Harare from Wednesday due to a knee injury, coach Russell Domingo said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The left-hander was in fine touch against Sri Lanka in April and May, scoring 280 runs at an average of 93.33 but he has been out of action since last month.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We are still not 100 percent sure about Tamim. There's still a lot of doubt regarding him," Domingo told reporters in Harare late Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Batsman Mushfiqur Rahim however was "pretty confident" he can feature after his recent injury, Domingo said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"He has done his rehab really well. Everything seems to be on track," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangladesh will welcome all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan to the Test side after he skipped the previous series against Sri Lanka to play in the Indian Premier League.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Shakib looks really hungry to play Tests again. The thing that's always the key with big players is their desire and attitude when they come into a Test series," said Domingo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"It is great to have him back. He balances the side really well. He bats in the top six, and he is a frontline bowler. He is what every international team is looking for. So it is really pleasing to have him back.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"He has brought really good energy and attitude on this tour, as well," said the South African coach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangladesh won just one of their last 10 Tests, which came against Zimbabwe at home in 2020.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
They are touring Zimbabwe for the first time in more than eight years. They will also play three one-day internationals and three Twenty20 internationals.
