Bangladesh are likely to head for the tour on June 5 to play two Tests, three T20Is, and three ODIs till mid-July.
Mustafizur Rahman has been called to the Test team despite him not wanting to play the format. The left-arm pacer didn't include himself in the central contract for the red-ball game. But due to the absence of both Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam for injuries, BCB is forcing Mustafiz to participate in the red-ball format.
