Senior Bangladesh batter Mushfiqur Rahim will not feature during Friday`s Asia Cup `Super Four` match against India after being granted an extension of leave by his cricket board to be with his newborn child and family.
"Mushfiqur has informed us that his wife is still recovering, and he needs to be by her side and with their children at this time. We fully understand his situation and have decided to permit him to skip the game," BCB Cricket Operations Chairman Mohammed Jalal Yunus said in a statement.
