Saqlain Mushtaq
will rejoin Bangladesh as their spin bowling consultant for the side's
tour of Zimbabwe. He will join the squad in Dubai on Wednesday from
where the team will travel to Harare.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board has a deal with the former Pakistan
offspinner for 100 days of work this year, after his previous contract
ended last December. This will be Saqlain's first assignment with
Bangladesh in 2013. He wasn't with the team on their tour of Sri Lanka.
"We will only call Saqlain when the need arises," BCB's cricket
operations chairman Enayet Hossain Siraj said. "We will not ask him to
stay with us for a prolonged period. He will work for 100 days in a
year, and this will start with the series against Zimbabwe."
Saqlain was appointed in July
last year when Richard Pybus was head coach. He was with the team
during the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka and the subsequent home series
against West Indies.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh have had to cancel their official training session
scheduled for Tuesday due to the countrywide general strike. The team
will get five days of training in Harare ahead of the first Test that
begins on April 17.
