"The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) requests that all respect the privacy of Mushfiqur and his family at this time," it added.
Only yesterday it was found out that Mushfiq will play the T20I series which he decided to skip citing family reasons so that he can be in the bio-bubble for the upcoming Australia series at home.
Chief selector Minhajul Abedin said that 3 or 4 more players from the ODI side will be added to the T20I squad so that they don't go out of bio-bubble and can be selected for the Australia series.
