Mushfiq has been dealing with a sprained rib injury and was a concern for Bangladesh’s game against Sri Lanka SaturdayThe Bangladeshi think-tank is mulling resting wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim for the Afghanistan game. The thought has been strengthened from the fact that Bangladesh have already qualified as Sri Lanka lost their second and last group game against Afghanistan Monday. Mushfiq has been dealing with a sprained rib injury and was a concern for Bangladesh’s game against Sri Lanka Saturday. Bangladesh have already lost opener Tamim Iqbal to a severe wrist injury in the Sri Lanka game. So, the final call about him is to come a day ahead of the Afghanistan game and having lost a vital batsman in the shape of Tamim, Bangladesh will be careful in dealing with an in-form Mushfiq.
