Mushfiqur Rahim’s return was certain even before his departure. His wife’s possible pregnancy was the reason for his return to his country. Along with him, the One Day International (ODI) captain Shakib Al Hasan has also returned to Bangladesh after the conclusion of the Super Four match against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup. However, the specific reasons for their return have not been disclosed.
On September 9th, after the match against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh will play their next match against India on September 15th. During this six-day break, Mushfiqur and Shakib will return to their country. There are discussions about them rejoining the team on September 13th.
