Bangladesh Player Mahmudullah called for match against South Africa.

The Bangladeshi cricketer Mohammad Mahmudullah Riyad has been recalled by the Bangladesh team in their Test squad for the upcoming two-match series against South Africa scheduled to be beginning from September 28 onwards.

In the 15-member squad, players  Subhasis Roy and Rubel Hossain have also been included to strengthen their side. The Star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and Nasir Hossain were excluded.

"Shakib wrote a letter to us asking for a six-month break. He can miss the first Test against South Africa but if he wants, he can play the second Test. He will not be travelling with the team but he can tell us what he decides to do," ESPNcricinfo quoted Akram as saying.​
