Al Amin replaces Rubel for first two England ODIs

Bangladesh Cricket Board on Sunday announced the Tigers' squad for the upcoming first two ODIs against England, scheduled to be held on Friday and next Sunday at the home of cricket in Mirpur. Al Amin Hossain returned to the squad in place of paceman Rubel Hossain, who played the first two ODIs against Afghanistan recently. Al Amin was dropped from the squad for the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan due to disciplinary reasons. However, the right-arm speedster made a comeback after some below-par display by Rubel, who proved to be expensive against the Afghans. “Al Amin was in our national pool along with Rubel. Both the bowlers are of the same calibre in that they can bowl in-swingers. We have seen Rubel in the Afghanistan series and now we wanted to try out Al Amin as he bowled 17 consecutive overs in the National Cricket League. So he has no more fitness issues and is all ready for the England series,” chief selector Minhajul Abedin Nannu told Dhaka Tribune on Sunday.SquadMashrafe bin Mortaza (C), Shakib al Hasan (VC), Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Imrul Kayes, Mosaddek Hossain, Mahmudullah, Nasir Hossain, Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Sabbir Rahman, Shafiul Islam, Mosharraf Hossain, Al Amin Hossain and Taskin Ahmed
