Shakib Al Hasan is also part of the squad after he made himself available for selection last month.
DHAKA - Mushfiqur Rahim and Taskin Ahmed are back in the Bangladesh Test squad for the two-match series against Pakistan starting later this month. Batter Shahadat Hossain however has been left out of the squad that last played against Sri Lanka in March.
Senior allrounder Shakib, who is no longer a member of parliament after the Awami League-led government fell on August 5, will be in focus. "The emphasis was on picking our best players for this version," chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain said. "This is a well-balanced squad. The likes of Mushfiqur , Mominul and Shakib have played 216 matches combined and there is no substitute for that kind of experience. Taijul and Miraz have been leading the spin department for a long time and have over 350 wickets between them.
"We have selected five pacers mindful of the fact that Taskin Ahmed will only play the second Test. He hasn't bowled in a Test since June last year and we have decided to include him in the A Team for the second four-dayer against Pakistan A to get him into the rhythm for longer version matches.
