Rafique back for crucial encounter

Saturday, January 29 2005

Bangladesh left-arm spinner Mohammed Rafique has been passed fit for the next two ODIs, both a must win if they want to take the series, against Zimbabwe.

Rafique missed the first three matches of the series, two of which Zimbabwe won to have the advantage at this point, as a result of a hamstring injury sustained during the historic Test series victory, which preceded the on-going ODI series.

Rafique replaces off-spinner Abdur Razzaq.

Bangladesh squad:
Habibul Bashar (captain), Nafis Iqbal, Rajin Saleh, Aftab Ahmed, Mohammad Ashraful, Khaled Mashud (wicket-keeper), Khaled Mahmud, Mashrafe Mortaza, Mohammed Rafique, Enamul Haque, Nazmul Hossain, Manjural Islam Rana.
