Bangladesh named senior pacer Rubel Hossain as a replacement for the young fast bowler Mohammad Saifuddin who has been ruled out of the ongoing T20 World Cup with back pain.
Saifuddin had issues with his back during the 50-over ICC World Cup in 2019 and the Bangladesh pacer had to take cortisone injections to play. The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 has approved Rubel as a replacement player for Saifuddin in the Bangladesh squad.
Saifuddin, 24, has played in all four of Bangladesh’s four matches so far, picking up five wickets across three qualifying games and finishing 1-38 in their opening Group II game against Sri Lanka in the Super 12 stage.
Rubel, who was initially named as a traveling reserve for the tournament, has played 159 matches at the international level, which includes 28 T20 internationals.
Bangladesh, who lost to Sri Lanka by five wickets at the weekend, take on England in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
