Legspinner Rishad Hossain and fast bowler Nahid Rana are available for the first T20 against the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which will be held today at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Both of the players joined the side today at the UAE after a visa complicacy that saw them stranded at the airport for three days. They were kept at a hotel as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) resolved the issue.
In the meantime, the BCB also sent left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed to the UAE to prepare him for the first match as the replacement of Rishad, reports BSS.
