Mustafizur Rahman Out Of Zimbabwe Tour And Early Hundred Matches
Bangladesh's lead pacer won't play the Zimbabwe series or The Hundred's opening fixtures due to injury.
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.
CricHubb Take
This hits harder than just losing a pacer — it exposes how thin Bangladesh's fast bowling stocks are when their best overseas-ready option vanishes mid-summer. The Hundred franchises banking on him now have no lead time to find a proper replacement.
