Shafiul Islam out of Bangladesh Test squad

Bangladesh have omitted fast bowler Shafiul Islam from their 15-man squad for the second Test against England.

Bangladesh have omitted fast bowler Shafiul Islam from their 15-man squad for the second Test against England and called up uncapped seamer Subashis Roy and 20-year-old all-rounder Mosaddek Hossain.

Shafiul bowled only 12 wicketless overs, and just three in England's second innings, while he was last man out as the Tigers suffered an agonising 22-run defeat in the series opener in Chittagong.

But the hosts have called up a like-for-like replacement in Subashis, who has never played at international level, while Mosaddek featured in all three ODIs against England earlier this month but is also uncapped in Tests.

Bangladesh squad: M Rahim (captain), T Iqbal (vice-captain), S Sarker, I Kayes, M Haque, Mahmudullah, S Al Hasan, S Hom, S Rahman, M Hasan, T Islam, K Rabbi, M Hossain, N Hasan, S Roy.
