Bangladesh has made a strategic move ahead of the final two Twenty20 internationals against Zimbabwe, calling upon seasoned all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman. Shakib, who hasn’t featured in a T20 match since July 2023, joins the squad, signaling his intent to gear up for the upcoming Twenty20 World Cup. Mustafizur, fresh from a successful stint in the Indian Premier League where he stood out for the Chennai Super Kings, returns after being rested for the initial matches. Soumya Sarkar, recovering from injury, also makes a comeback to bolster the top order.
