Bangladesh has announced their replacement for injured Captain Nurul Hasan and decided who will lead the side for the crucial T20I series decider against Zimbabwe on Tuesday.
Mahmudullah to three-match T20I of Zimbabwe tour:-
The 36-year-old all-rounder Mahmudullah was initially rested for the three-match T20I component of the Zimbabwe tour but Bangladesh has decided to turn to the veteran with the series in Harare.

Mahmudullah has recalled the side and could also win a place in Bangladesh’s XI for the third match of the series, with fellow all-rounder Mosaddek Hossain named as the captain of the team in Nurul’s absence.
Took Over as Bangladesh’s T20I captain:-
Nurul – who took over as Bangladesh’s T20I captain only from Mahmudullah before the series – injured his left index finger during Bangladesh’s seven-wicket win over Zimbabwe and is likely to be sidelined for three weeks.
That means Bangladesh will turn to Mosaddek for the series decider. The 26-year-old entering the match in the second match on Sunday with career-best figures of 5/20.
Still to captain my country at the international level:-
While Mossadek is yet to captain his country at the international level. He has experience as a captain in domestic cricket in the Bangladesh Premier League.
Mosaddek formerly captained Sylhet Thunder in Bangladesh’s domestic 20-over competition and led Bangladesh A in the first two matches.
