Mashrafe and Saifuddin took rest while Mustafizur bowled in The Oval nets on Friday. Bowling Coach Courtney Walsh said the pacers have slight injuries but have time for recovery before Bangladesh face South Africa on Sunday. Saifuddin suffered back spasm while Mustafizur pulled a cuff muscle during the match. Mashrafe is almost certain to play the opener against South Africa even if his injury does not improve much while Mustafizur has made a lot of progress. The concerns now centre around Saifuddin who was seen walking with physio Thihan Chandramohan and doing some exercise.
