“I’m not quite sure where Mushfiq will be with his recovery so he’s a doubt for the first Test,” Rhodes said. But the head coach gave some positive news as in-form middle-order batsman Mohammad Mithun will be back for the first Test which starts on Thursday. Liton knows he’s going to keep wickets and bat so his job is to do his best and try and replace Mushfiq,” the head coach explained. Uncapped fast bowler Ebadat Hossain has been selected as part of the Test squad and he may be given a chance to make his Test debut on Thursday. The 25-year old was not initially part of the Test squad but got the nod from the selectors after Taskin Ahmed got injured in the BPL.
