Bangladesh have included veteran spinner Abdur Razzak in place of injured Shakib Al Hasan for the first Test against Sri Lanka, a team official said Monday. Shakib was ruled out of the Test starting Wednesday in Chittagong after injuring a little finger during the tri-series final against the islanders last weekend. The 35-year-old Razzak, who bowls left-arm spin, was recalled to the side four years after he played his last Test against the West Indies in 2014. Sunzamul has yet to play any Test, so we recalled Razzak,” said chief selector Minhajul Abedin. Bangladesh will also play two Twenty20 internationals against Sri Lanka.
