Fast bowler Taskin Ahmed and off-spinner Mehedi Hasan Miraz have been called up to the Bangladesh T20I squad for the three-match series against the West Indies, which begins in Dominica Saturday.
Miraz is yet to play a T20I since December 2018 but has been a regular in Tests and ODIs.
Taskin meanwhile, has made full recovery from an injury sustained in South Africa in April this year and makes his return to international cricket.
The Bangladesh T20I squad originally named for the series has been hit hard by injuries with pacer Shahidul Islam pulling out prior to the tour.
Middle order batsman Yasir Ali Chowdhury was forced to return home from Antigua with a back injury while all-rounder Saifuddin got withdrawn as he is still short of optimal fitness for international cricket.
The first two matches of the series will be played at Windsor Park, Dominica Saturday and Sunday respectively.
The third and final T20I will be played at Guyana Stadium Thursday.
