Zimbabwe last won a Test series against Bangladesh in 2011, and their most recent Test victory over the Tigers came in 2018.
The decision arrives against the backdrop of the BCB's ongoing struggle to secure a media rights partner for the two-match series, scheduled to begin in Sylhet on April 20 before the action moves to Chattogram.
Over a short span in Test cricket, Mahmudul Hasan Joy has been able to find his spark from time to time. With Zimbabwe coming in for a series, Joy and the other young guns in the side approach this series to build momentum in their career. The 24-year-old opener discussed his career, his approach and the Zimbabwe series during an interview last week with The Daily Star’s Abdullah Al Mehdi. The excerpts of the interview are as follows:
Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha insisted that his side had had a good initial preparation phase heading into the T20 World Cup next month in the USA and West Indies.
Bangladesh's pace spearhead Taskin Ahmed suffered an injury to his rib cage during the fourth game of the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe, upsetting the team's plans for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the USA and the West Indies.
Bangladesh will take on Zimbabwe in the fifth and final match of the five-match T20I series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium today.
Bangladesh opener Soumya Sarker returned to the side as he replaced Liton Das at the top of the order in the fourth T2OI against Zimbabwe at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Friday.
A minute’s silence was observed before the fourth T20I between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Friday as a mark of respect for the tragic demise of Bangladesh Air Force Squadron Leader Asim Jawad in an air crash in Chattogram yesterday.
Zimbabwe need 144 runs to win.
