Razzak, Rahman get a chance to play

ODI series. Shamsur is a right-handed top-order batsman who made his Twenty20 debut against Sri Lanka last month.
He was adjudged leg-before, falling for a first-ball duck, though the decision looked dubious at the time.

He scored heavily in this year’s Bangladesh Premier League, making 421 runs in 12 matches.
He also had a decent first-class season, averaging a shade below 36 and scoring one century.
He is yet to make an ODI debut.

Razzak has been a regular in the limited-overs squad, recently completing 200 ODI wickets. In his last ODI appearance, he took a five-for against Sri Lanka.
ESPNcricinfo has learned that a total of three players will be returning to Dhaka after the second Test. Shahriar Nafees and Enamul Haque jnr are so far the only two confirmed while the third player will be decided later.

Mashrafe Motarza has been ruled out of the three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe.
His latest injury, a fat pad contusion on his left heel, is keeping him out of action for yet another international tour, after he had missed the limited overs leg of the Sri Lanka tour as well.

“According to the assessment of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) medical team, (Mashrafe) Mortaza has not fully recovered from the injury and still feels pain,” said chief selector Akram Khan.

“There is a risk of him aggravating the injury if he returns to play, and he could become susceptible to new injuries also.
“Under the circumstances, we felt it was best to allow him more time to continue with his rehabilitation programme. He will not be considered for selection for the ODI series in Zimbabwe.”

He suffered the injury during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) final earlier this year.
It has already been more than two months since he has been into his recovery, which seemed innocuous when it first occurred.

But Mashrafe has a history of leg injuries and his surgery count is already in the double figures.
Mashrafe’s last international appearance was the fourth ODI against West Indies last year, and his last Test appearance was in 2009. — Cricinfo.com.
