Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman has been blessed with a baby boy on Wednesday.

The left-arm pacer, who opted out from West Indies ODIs citing family reasons, announced the news on social media.

" Alhamdulillah! By the grace of almighty Allah today we are blessed with a baby boy. Both baby and mother are doing great. Keep them in your prayers," the post read.

Mustafizur had tied the knot with Samiha Parvin Shimu -- a student of Dhaka University -- on March 22, 2019.
