Deepak Chahar when the squad will be selected for the Asia Cup on August 8. The Asia Cup will be played in T20 format in Dubai and Sharjah from August 27 to September 11. Rahul was supposed to make a comeback for the away ODI series in Zimbabwe but a bout of COVID-19 has apparently delayed his recovery from the sports hernia surgery he underwent recently.
Craig Ervine-led Zimbabwe defeated Bangladesh by 10 runs in the third and final T20I on Tuesday to win the series 2-1. At one stage, Zimbabwe were struggling at 67/6 in the 13th over while batting first, but Ryan Burl scored a quickfire 54 runs off just 28 balls to help Zimbabwe post 156/8 in 20 overs. Victor Nyauchi then returned with three wickets as Zimbabwe registered a 10-run win to seal the series 2-1.
After slumping to 67-6 off 13 overs in the third and final match, Burl and Jongwe smashed eight sixes and six fours between them off 31 balls to offer hope to the hosts.
Mosaddek replaces Nurul Hasan as captain after the wicketkeeper-batsman was ruled out of the rest of the tour with a finger injury he sustained in Sunday's seven-wicket win in the second match. The three-match series in Harare is locked at 1-1 after Zimbabwe won the first by 17 runs.
The 23-year-old is a key for Afghanistan in Ireland as well as in the Asia Cup (August-September) in United Arab Emirates and Twenty20 World Cup (October-November) in Australia. Rashid took four wickets in Afghanistan's 3-0 rout of Zimbabwe in June this year and will be part of the squad despite his commitments in The Hundred league in England, also starting this week.
Wasim Jaffer feels that one could not write off a guy like talismanic batter Virat Kohli, who possesses an incredible strike rate and average in T20 cricket. Jaffer also believes that when Virat returns to his form, it will be even greater than what it was before he experienced the current dip. Kohli has been in a prolonged lean patch and hasn't scored an international century since November 2019.
Bangladesh's captain for the Twenty20 international series against Zimbabwe Nurul Hasan will miss the rest of tour due to a finger injury, the country's cricket board said on Monday. The wicketkeeper-batsman hurt his left index finger while keeping against fast bowler Hasan Mahmud during Sunday's second T20 international at the Harare Sports Club, which Bangladesh won by 7 wickets.
Spin-bowling all-rounder Mosaddek took five wickets for the first time in his T20 international career as the tourists restricted Zimbabwe to 135-8 at Harare Sports Club. Faced with the modest target, Bangladesh were always ahead on run rate thanks to an impressive start propelled by opener Liton, whose 56 off 33 balls included two sixes and six fours. The tourists cruised to 136-3 with 15 balls remaining and success was particularly joyful as it was only the second T20 triumph in their last 15 internationals.
