Mosaddek included in Bangladesh squad for first Test against SL

Mosaddek Hossain Saikat has been remembered for the Bangladesh crew for the principal Test against Sri Lanka, what begins on May 15. Prior Nayeem Hasan came to the crew instead of the harmed Mehedy Hasan yet the transition to incorporate Mossadek, who isn't customary in red-ball cricket, was done to have more profundity in their batting.

"Mossadek was harmed subsequent to playing two top notch games so he was unable to play either in the National Cricket League or the Bangladesh Cricket League (the top of the line rivalries)," Habibul Bashar, individual from the senior men's group's choice board told Cricbuzz on Friday (April 29). "We have included him as we feel on the off chance that we play four bowlers, we could require somebody who can bat down the request."

The 26-year-old Mossadek, who played just three Tests in his profession, last played a Test against Afghanistan in September 2019 in Chattogram. In any case, he had performed well in the as of late closed Bangabandhu Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League, the List A competition, where he scored 658 runs as well as gotten 16 wickets in 15 counterparts for Abahani Limited.

The Sri Lanka cricket crew will show up in Bangladesh on May 8 for the two-match series which is a piece of the 2021-2023 ICC World Test Championship. The principal Test begins at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium (ZACS) in Chattogram while the subsequent Test starts at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) in Dhaka on 23 May.
