Mushfik, Shahadat manage maiden call-up for AFG Test

The Bangladesh Cricket Board on Sunday named Shahadat Hossain and Musfik Hasan as the surprise faces in their 15-man squad for the upcoming one-off Test against Afghanistan that starts on June 14.

Skipper Shakib Al Hasan was dropped as expected due to a finger strain that he suffered during the second one-day international against Ireland on May 12, in Chelmsford, England.

Apart from him, the BCB axes young pacer Rejaur Rahman Raja and opening batsman Shadman Islam Anik, while returning Zakir Hasan.
