Return Of Mushfiqur A Boost As Bangladesh Take On Under Strength New Zealand

By IANS News September 01, 2021 • 12:51 PM View: 1987

The return of Mushfiqur Rahim, who missed the T20I series against Australia for not fulfilling quarantine requirements, will be a massive boost for Bangladesh as they take on an under-strength New Zealand in the opening tie of the five-match T20I series beginning at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Mirpur later on Wednesday.

Rahim's return should fix the middle-order issues that plagued the side in the previous series against Australia, which they won 4-1, as Bangladesh look at the series against New Zealand as a dress rehearsal for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in October-November this year.
