Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium: Off-spin all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz has earned a recall to the Bangladesh men’s T20I for the upcoming series against India, starting on October 6 in Gwalior.

Apart from him, left-handed opening batter Parvez Hossain Emon and left-arm spinner Rakibul Hasan have also been called up to the squad, while Soumya Sarkar has been left out. Mehidy has been a consistent performer in Tests and ODIs for Bangladesh in over a year, which has propelled his return to T20Is 14 months since his last appearance in the shortest format.

This will be Bangladesh’s first series without the services of their star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who announced retirement from the format ahead of the second Test against India at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.
