Mustafizur Rahman Out of Zimbabwe Tour and Early Hundred Matches

Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman is out of the Zimbabwe tour and the start of The Hundred next year. Injury concerns forced the decision after a final fitness assessment by the Bangladesh Cricket Board.

Rahman had been cleared for the full Hundred season just weeks ago, so this reversal signals something's flared up. Team management now has to find replacement bowlers for the limited-overs fixtures, and The Hundred franchises holding his registration will have to rebuild their early-match plans without him. No return date's been set.
